(FEB 1) Employing early round,
ring-wide, movement and late round, pinpoint punching, Alicia
"Slick" Ashley, 121, lived up to her nickname with a smooth eight
round decision over a game Brooke Dierdorff, 120, Thursday night at
the Utopia Paradise Theater in the Bronx, NY.
The win gave Ashley
the NABF super bantamweight crown, a title that had been vacant.
With the win, the veteran Ashley improves her record to 14-7-1,
while Dierdorff drops to 4-2-1. The scorecards read, 79-73, 78-74,
80-72.
In the curtain raiser of the seven bout card, presented by Joe
DeGuardia's Star Boxing, Ronica Jeffrey, 122, former NY Daily News
Golden Gloves champ, made her highly anticipated professional debut
a successful one with a unanimous four round win over co-debuter
Karen Dulin, 122. The scores were 40-36 from all three judges.
