(NOV 20) WBAN received the
results of Lisa "Bad News" Brown from Trinidad, where she fought
last night a late replacement opponent when her other opponent
fell through. We were told initially that because Brown's
opponent was notgoing to fight her, that the fight was reduced to an
eight-round non-title fight. WBAN was pleased to see that
the WIBA was not going to put up a belt with a last minute
opponent.
First report we received yesterday about the fight initially
being a non-title bout
BUT, we received the fight results that indicated the fight had
been changed to a 10-round WIBA title bout, and sanctioned as
such.
The following report was sent to
us:
Earlier tonight (Nov 19),
Trinidad and Tobago boxing fans witnessed an exciting night of
boxing at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Lisa
“Bad News” Brown (19-5-3, 5KO’s) headlined the evening and TKO’d
Columbian Angela “La Diva” Marciales (6-6-3, 5 KO’s) at 1:26 of
the fourth round. Marciales was a last minute replacement for
fellow Colombian boxer Paola Ester Herrera who due to unforeseen
circumstances could not travel in for the WIBA
Super-Bantamweight title. Initially Team Brown was told the bout
with Marciales would be an 8 round non-title bout but the fight
was later sanctioned for ten rounds with the belt on the line.
However, Marciales who arrived in Trinidad on Friday after the
official weigh in tipped the scales at 132 lbs while Brown was
comfortably at 121.2 lbs. In the end, Brown proved to be too
much for Marciales who struggled with Lisa’s power. Marciales
took a standing eight count in the first round, and hit the
canvas in the third before the official called the fight in the
fourth round.
