(NOV 10) After recently capturing the
NABF Featherweight Championship in Denver, CO, Jennifer “The Razor”
Barber packs her bags once again. The NABF Champ will travel to
Paris, France to battle Myriam Chomaz on November 20th for the WBC
Super Featherweight Interim Title.
Barber 8-0 (4 KO’s), hails from
Northridge, CA, but has only fought three of her eight fights in
Southern California.
“It’s hard to travel to other people’s back yard and fight them. It
takes a lot out of you mentally, because you never know how the
judges will score it," said Barber.
So far in her career it hasn’t matter where she has traveled. The
judges have always scored all her fights in her favor. In the 29
rounds she has boxed thus far, only one judge has ever scored a
round for an opponent, which came in her last fight when a judge
scored the fight 79-72 for Barber.
Coach Stan Ward, who is a former heavyweight great in his fighting
days, constantly pushes “The Razor” in training. Coach insisted, “I
don’t care where and who she fights because I train her with the old
school mentality to fight anybody and any where… I haven’t had a
fighter male or female that has the whole package that Jenny does. I
know that whoever she fights, her conditioning will allow her skill
to prevail in the end.”
In contrast, Chomaz who is from
Grenoble, Isère, France, has fought all her fights locally in France
where she has compiled an impressive record of 9-1 (7 KO’s). The
winner of the bout is scheduled to face the current champ Jelena
Mrdjenovich next year to unify the WBC Super Featherweight Title.
