(JAN 16) On January 11, 2008, at the
Isleta Casino, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it was an unfair decision
between 108 pounders Ava Knight vs. Jodi Esquibel, a local
Albuquerque boxer in a four round bout.
In my opinion---For sure Ava knight lost
the first round as Miss Esquibel caught her with some good over hand
rights but never hurt knight. knight came back in the middle of the
second round and landed hooks to Esquibel's body and head, cutting
her on the right eye. Esquibel's face showed damaged and she looked
like a beaten boxer.
Ava's relentless attack in the next two
rounds was like spanking a baby as she tore into Esquibel's body and
head. Esquibel took a beating that drew a lot of blood from
her nose and eyes with the ring was full of blood.
Ava was covered with Jodie Esquibel's
blood. Jodie had a golf size welt on her forehead and a broken nose.
One judge had it 38-38 a draw, another
judge had it 39-37 for Ava knight, and the third judge had it
38-38 a draw. The decision was a majority draw. The decision was
unfair. There wasn't a single person in audience that thought that
it was a draw. The judges stole the win from Ava Knight.
I have never seen a woman in boxing
getting whipped like Jodie Esquibel did on that January 11th bout.
Ava WAS and IS the winner of that bout. Something stinks in
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
