Karen Ousey has just won her 3rd World Title after beating american Trisha Hill on Oct 19th.
Please check out the fight report at http://www.womenkickboxing.com/fightreports.htm, it's the second one down.
Just to give you an idea, here's some quotes from both Brits and Americans on message boards about her:
Hi, everybody, I dont normally post on bulletin boards, i really prefer to just read what others have to say.
But, after reading the Howard Hughes fight report, I just had to respond.
I now believe without a doubt, that the new undefeated, WIKBA World champion, Karen 9MM Ousey, is one of the three greatest pound for pound female Muay Thai kickboxers ever- right alongside Naoko Kumagai, and Lucia Rijker!
And, please don't retire Karen! We need you!
sincerely,
Rhonda Gaskins.
Absolutely! Ousey has claimed her place among the holy trinity of female muay thai fighters... actually, it's the holy quadpoly of female Muay Thai fighters, as Hill still has a place at the table, given her remarkable track record...
Ousey has to be considered the greatest ever, though, with Rijker, Kumagai, and Hill all tied for a close and ever-respected second. I can't imagine that anyone currently involved in the game could best her. Ousey's resolve is unbeatable...
Trisha Hill was magnificent, but Karen Ousey was even more so, as she won a tough but well deserved unanimous decision over America's Trisha "TNT" Hill to earn the WIKBA World Title!
I had hoped for, and actually predicted a Knockout for Karen, but it was not to be as Hill showed amazing courge and heart, in taking Ousey the distance.
Trisha Hill is much better than we all had imagined, and she has a great future.
Congratulations to both ladies on a superb fight, which was clearly the most exciting fight on the eveing.
And a very special congratulations are also in order to Karen 9MM Ousey-the new WIKBA World Muay Thai Champion-and clearly the best female Muay Thai fighter in the world today!
Cheers!

I think Karen will continue to hold the WIKBA World Title until that sad day when she retires from the sport.
In the meanwhile, we can all look forward to many successful defenses. And also look for Ms Ousey to indelibly etch her name into the womens kickboxing Hall of fame!
Cheers!
