(JULY 19) Last night at the Reliant
Arena, in Houston, Texas, in a women’s bout on the card, Christy
Martin and Valerie Mahfood, of Beaumont, Texas, fought to an eight
round draw. According to the Houston Chronicle, Martin, of Orlando,
Florida, displayed her boxing technique from the opening bell,
connecting with combinations, that caused Mahfood to stumble.
“Boos engulfed the arena at the end of the fight”, the Houston
Chronicle reported. Martin said in a post fight interview that she
felt that she won every round, and that she had landed the bigger
shots.
