Shannon O’Connell

[AntonS]

Hard slug for ladies in our part of the world. Oz boxing fans ain't all that keen on female boxing, even though some are better than some of the boys. JWP's wife Angie is one of them, as is Erin McGowan. Angie was more of a kicker than just a puncher

Dont we have a womens champ in one of the heavier weights?

Lisa Vansinari?

[Tinnie]

Yes i was looking at her page a month or so back.... i didnt realize the minor organizations/belts had filtered through to the womens side

Saw Susie Ramadan fight at flemington. Thought she was extremely skillfull

[Redback Rasta]

Susie is probably more skillful than half our male fighters. Naturally she doesn't have as much power though.

[fox]

Shannon has wanted to fight Suzie for some time but it hasn't been able to get sorted. Be an interesting contest.

[Grant]

If i had the moneh i would make it happen

As good as they might be, I doubt they'd put enough bums on seats to earn a decent quid for their effort.

Main Support bout on a big card they might do alright. They would have to be on the undercard of a huge card to get what they would be worth.

To date, I'm only aware ladies on this show http://boxrec.com/show/532774 got paid more than some boys 'cos Promoter gave each 500 bucks bonus for their excellent performance. I was there & certainly agreed

[fox]

Nive was pretty good. I had a girl that fought her a few times in the amateurs. I heard it was a cracker.

[colin russell]

It was the fight of the year with out a dought

Cheers for the update

I see Stevenson stopped Karpency in the 3rd round too.

Shannon now 11-4 has a crack at the WBC silver belt coming up in November. Her opponent for the vacant belt is Dayana Cordero 13-5-1 from Columbia.

[colin russell]

Lauren Eagle was looking ok but it seems she pulls out of more fights these days.

[Like a Boss]

Our own Di Prazak went the distance (10 rounds) at boxing 3 years ago with the new UFC champ and Ronda Rousey slayer, Holly Holm.

Shannon O'Connell looking very second hand after a cut eye from an accidental head clash caused the stoppage of her fight with Dayana Cordero >>>

[convict]

Wow that's a nasty cut. What happened to that female fighter that was trained by Lovemore Ndou some years back?.

Shannon O'Connell will have another crack at a WBC silver belt in Warrnambool this Saturday night, this time at super bantamweight.

Same night, same venue, sees the return of Susie Ramadan after a year and a half without a fight.
