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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 >>>

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.
