Marlen Esparza is very talented and pretty young, so she should have a good future ahead of her.

Cheryl Houlihan is very talented and has a lot of potential. Her weakness is that she doesn't deal well with fighters that put a lot of pressure on her.

I think Carrie Barry would make a great pro. But I don't think her style will get her too far internationally as an amateur.

Patricia Manuel is also an excellent boxer at 132lbs. She's been out with an injury but she won 2 out of 3 fights against Carrie Barry.

Above 132lbs I think Franchon Crews is very talented. Her weakness is conditioning and defense, but that's usually the case with the bigger weights. She could be excellent if she consistently trained right and stayed focused. Tylor Lord Wilder is also pretty good. She's one of the few big girls that is actually pretty solid. She should do well internationally.

I saw Tyler Lord Wilder and Patricia Manuel both fight at the '06 Ringside tournament. I was surprised how solid Wilder was for a light heavy and she has good movement and power. She can make some noise if she were to turn pro. Its rare to see a big girl actually in shape.

Manuel really impressed me. I think only one of her four opponents didn't get stopped at this tourny. She looked huge for that weight class and throws good combos with mean intentions. My friend and I both thought she looks to be as strong or maybe stronger than Lucia Rijker. Too bad she got hurt...Is her career over or is she rehabbing? She looks like shed kill girls in the pros.

Sorry I should've said zero amateurs, I'll be the first one to admit I'm no Amateur expert, but I did find it interesting that India was chosen to host the female ams and have alot of their competitors medal.
