In the best bout of the evening on the undercard of an eight bout card presented at BB King Blues CLub & Grill in New York City by Lou DiBella Entertainment, on Wednesday, October 6, 2010, two short and overweight female heavyweights with fat at the midsection nonetheless fought four no defense nonstop action head hunting rounds to applause from the crowd. Sonya Lamonakis decisioned Alysia 'Lady Rampage' Williams, but it wasn't easy. Lamonakis, of Greece but now out of of New York City, now 2-0, 1 kayo, a four time New York Golden Gloves champion, faced debuting Williams-Stevenson, Winterhaven, Florida, a former National Golden Gloves champion. Both could fight! All four rounds were no defense 'bombs away' two minute rounds. Both fighters traded bombs to the head. The first round was a bit sloppy, with both fighters frequently getting tangled or missing wildly while trading bombs. Lamonakis won the round by landing more head shots. Lamonakis paced herself in rounds two, three and four, landing rights to the head and landing consistently. Williams never stopped trying, but nearly punched herself early. On advise of corner, Lamonakis began working the body of Williams with lefts and rights in rounds three and four, mixing her punches better than Williams, who only landed a head shot bomb occasionally. Lamonakis won a unanimous decision, but indicated in the in ring post fight interview with ring announcer David Diamante she might prefer to drop weight and go down to 175 pounds at light heavyweight for her next fight. Technically speaking, the girls were turning their hips when they were punching. They were not turning their punches. Lamonakis had power. If she knew how to deliver the punch in correct fashion, her fights would end more quicker than with her present style. Unique matchup by promoter Lou DiBella.
