'''Jackie Tonawanda'''
<p>
BoxRec has found no evidence of any professional bouts for Tonawanda to date.

Tonawanda is her mother's last name. She was born in Suffolk County, New York. Her date of birth is estimated at 1948, based on a 1976 article which said she was 28 at that time.

In 1978, along with [[Cathy Davis]] and [[Marian Trimiar]], she was one of the first professional woman boxers to be licensed in New York. One Web site ([http://www.WBAN.org]) credits her with an 0-1(0)-0 official record. The lone documented fight was a UD6 light-heavyweight title fight loss to [[Diane Clark]] in 1979 at Madison Square Garden. Marian Trimiar and Clark both substantiate this bout.

She claimed the world women's heavyweight title in the mid-1970s. She was recognized as the WBF light-heavyweight champ in the late 1970s.

Her nickname was "The Female Ali." She was ranked No. 1 at light heavyweight by [[Boxing Illustrated]] magazine in 1979 and 1980.

She died June 9, 2009, in New York.

Susana Morales vs. Pamela Barker

On her Web site, http://www.pamelabarker.com/bio.htm , Barker says the Morales fight was an exhibition. She does not count it on her record, which she lists at 5-0-1.

The site said this about what was to be her first fight, prior to the Morales bout:

"Pamela's first taste of "Professional Boxing" was not the flavor she had expected. Universum Box Promotion brought her to Germany to fight WIBF flyweight champion Regina Halmich in Cologne on March 7, 1998. This in itself, she thought was a big step for her. Upon arriving in Germany she was met at the airport with welcome arms and directly whisked off to the press conference to meet with Regina, the promoters and do an interview with the local Media. Pamela was asked questions, by the media, regarding her fight record. The media had been provided, by unknown persons, with information about Pamela's fight record (names and dates were on it) (and an 11-1 kickboxing record). When Pamela said "No, this is my pro debut," the German fight authorities went into a huddle. When they came out of their huddle, they said they would not allow a debut fighter to fight Halmich, so Britain's Lisa Houghton was rushed in as Halmich's opponent.
Pamela's warm welcome she received was now over. She was treated so bad it was enough to make her cry. She was in a foreign country, they spoke very little English, had no friends to help and now was facing threats from the promoter to take her return air fare ticket away if she continued to request her money for the food for her stay."

== Edip Secovic dies ==

Former world boxing champion stabbed to death in Austria

InternationalNewsService(IANS)
Tuesday 26th August, 2008

VIENNA, Austria -- Former World Athletic Association (WAA) light-middleweight boxing world champion Edip Sekowitsch (Secovic) died Tuesday of multiple stab wounds outside a pub he owned in Vienna, Austrian media reported.

Police said they were questioning an injured man who was apprehended near the crime scene, but it was still unclear whether he was a suspect in the killing of Sekowitsch, 50.

The victim, born as Edip Secovic in Serbia, was one of Austria's most successful boxers.

In 1988, he was light-middleweight world champion of the World Athletic Association (WAA), which is not regarded as one of the major boxing organisations. One year later, he became the European Boxing Union (EBU) European champion in his weight class.

The former boxer, known in Austria as 'the Serbian bull,' owned the Champ's Pub in Vienna.

<boxer>21001</boxer>

Maria de las Nieves Garcia of Mexico City, Mexico, was the WIBF lightweight champion in 1997-98. She defeated Daniella Somers for the belt on March 29, 1997, in Las Vegas.

In 1998 she was part of what promoter Don King's matchmaker called a first for him. Her bout with Christy Martin in Madison Square Garden on June 6 was called off at the pre-fight physical the day before after Garcia was found to be 21 weeks pregnant. She said she did not know she was pregnant, and three different tests were done ... all coming up positive. According the New York Times [[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B07E0DA113BF936A35755C0A96E958260]], she stood to make a career-high purse of $15,000 in what would have been a Showtime televised bout.

There is no record of Garcia fighting again. She finished her career at 2(0)/1(0)/0, losing to Laura Serrano, but defeating Somers and Helga Risoy. She was still ranked no. 10 among lightweights by the IFBA in 1999.

Recognized that the file name was wrong, but coudn't figure out how to fix it. Thanks, Ric.

You can remove the "went by Tonawanda," as the error was unintentional and she reportedly liked to go by "The Female Ali."

Various reports say she lived in Harlem for a while, trained at Gleason's Gym and mentored Jacqueline Frazier-Lyde. Still trying to confirm before posting that info. Not sure where to go, besides calling Madison Square Garden, to confirm the date on the Tonawanda-Clarke bout, but I'd like to get Tonawanda in the DB.

Vistaman44: Four unrecorded women's bouts

In Karlsruhe, Germany, on Sept. 1, there was a 4-bout women's card held by promoter Juergen Luta, according to WBAN.org. I don't know if it was sanctioned or not, but it is not listed in the Boxrec date log or for the individual fighters. Results follow:

Pia Mazelanik W4 Loret Ikufu, junior bantamweights.

Stefanie Penkwitt W4 Lucy Mairot, flyweights.

Keninde Obarek D4 with Lena Erashin, featherweights.

Asiye Ozlem Sahin W4 Elsa Capell, flyweights.

The report described the bout as Germans versus Frenchwomen ...
