It was a different experience for the Virginia City, Nevada lightweight who became the first licensed women professional boxer in July 1975. “Things felt different,” she said. “It was just a feeling. Everyone isn’t cheerful as they were. I guess everyone likes to be involved with a winner.” Her loss by a second round knockout to Ersi Arvizo of Los A..." current

Originally Andy Thomas, the socking Manhattan lightweight, was carded to meet Red Cap Wilson, but at the last minute Jimmy Murphy, of Greenwich Village, protégé of Maxey Haugh, was substituted for Wilson. For three rounds the substitute gave Thomas the battle of his life. Time and again Murphy staggere..." current

He is improving with every start, and is really one of the best lightweight prospects around here. He is a bit awkward and has a bit to learn yet, but how he can sock! And let it be said that a sock covers a multitude of shortcomings. Against Daly, last night he forced the milling from the start and as early as the fi..."

The latter lived up to his reputation and got the judges’ decision. The first round was even. Both boys slugged toe to toe for three minutes. It seemed that one or the other must go out. In the third round Thomas was out on his feet. Herman kept after him but could not flatte..." current

As Andy Thomas lay stretched in his corner groveling in a paroxysm of pain following what looked like a deliberately low blow to many on the part of the dazed and beaten Bobby Michaels a wave of resentment swept through the crowd that might have easily been fanned into a scene of terrifying disorder.

He met the New Yorker’s rushes with straight left-hand jabs, and in close hooked both fists to Andy’s body and jaw. Thomas began to weaken in the eighth round, and from that point, until the unexpected finish, he was subjected to a terrific battering. The tenth round was a particularly bad session for him.
