Indio, California
A pair of young bantamweights Kaliesha West and Tonia
Cravens hammered away at each other in a glimpse of the future.
Before more than 1,000 at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, West
out-punched Craven in the four-round affair on Saturday to win by
unanimous decision in her second pro fight. Craven came out swinging
lefts and rights at anything that moved but found West a little too
elusive and slick.In the first round West used a stiff jab in
between Cravens punches and often stopped the windmill punches from
landing. While moving around Cravens, West punched repeatedly with
right hands and a long left hook occasionally that landed. But often
the left hook did not land in the knuckle portion of her hand, but
instead with the inside of the fist by the fore fist. But she did
land. The next round found both meeting in the middle of the
ring with their heads touching each other and exchanged blows. It
would be repeated in the third and fourth as well.
“I took my time and went to the body,” said West (2-0), who wound up
and landed vicious body shots and was especially effective with the
left hooks. “I felt relaxed in there.” Cravens was most
effective with her right hand and often switched from orthodox to a
left-handed style. “I thought I won the fight,” said a sullen
Cravens (2-2-1). “I fought my best. She was tough.”
West, a former amateur standout, said she worried midway through the
match that she might be losing the fight.
“This is a fight I would have lost in the amateurs. They like
fighters who just swing a lot and throw a lot of punches,” West
said. “But this is the pros. The judges don’t score like that. They
look to see who is landing punches. It’s different. I like it.”
Using her gloves to fend off blows and slipping the overhand rights,
West shoulder blocked and dipped under hooks while countering with
thudding body blows that echoed in the arena. “This fight I
felt better than in my first fight,” said West who beat Suszannah
Warner, now ranked. Cravens team said the fight was close, indeed it
was, though all three judges scored it 40-36 for West. Each round
was hotly contested. In a super middleweight contest,
Lisa Holewyne dominated Tana Gallegos for two rounds
before putting the good night punch on the Colorado boxer. A one-two
combination proved the antidote for Gallegos who hit and moved
against the bigger more experienced Holewyne.
Holewyne, who has met some of the best boxers in the world like
Sumya Anani and Christy Martin, had too much of everything for
Gallegos who was willing to hang in. But that old one-two
combination seemed like it had a smart bomb attached to it. Three
times Holewyne used it to drop Gallegos. The third time proved too
lethal. She was counted out at 28 seconds of the third.

Conference Centre, in Edmonton, Canada
Jelena Mrdjenovich of Edmonton, Canada, wasted little time in
stopping Donna Biggers of North Carolina. The fight
ended at 2:00 in the second round.
In the Edmonton Sun they said that it was a
one-sided TKO beat-down.
One Canadian boxing fan
wrote to WBAN after the fight and said, “By no means do I want
to take anything away from Donna Biggers, it takes guts and a lot of
heart to get out there, but when you look at her opponents,
three-fourths of her fights were four-rounders!”
The question
WBAN has is will Team Mrdjenovich now look at fighting the
top women in her weight class. WBAN has
Mrdjenovich ranked #7,
not even CLOSE to the top. In fact she would probably
get a nosebleed just looking up at who is over her in the WBAN
rankings. Also junior welterweight Keri Scarr, made her pro debut
and won a four-round unanimous decision over Amy Johnson.
Final judges scores were 49-36, 40-36, and 40-36.
