"Finally" PPV;"The Women Come to New Mexico.....Looking for History" By Bernie McCoy

"The Women Come to New Mexico.....Looking for History"
By Bernie McCoy

This is the age of hyperbole, exaggeration has become the norm. One of the adjectives orally chucked about, with abandon, today, is "historic." It is often applied to an event that, at the time it occurs, seems to have secured it's place in the pantheon of never-to-be-forgotten occurrences. Remember the score of the last Super Bowl?.....neither do I and I live in the town of the winning team. That was the NY Giants in case you've forgotten. For a week, after the final gun, it was all anyone, and I mean anyone, talked about in New York. And the word "historic" led the league of descriptive adjectives. Then about a month later, nothing. The reason was fairly predictable, it was a good game, a game decided in the final seconds, but it wasn't, by any known definition, a game that altered the course of the NFL; there'll be another Super Bowl next February, count on it. And that, at least to me, is the proper qualification for something being termed historic: an event that has the power to alter the course of a given enterprise, or, in this case, a sport. That's why I have only a slight bit of reluctance applying the word historic to this Friday's all-female fight card at the Isleta Casino and Resort in Albuquerque, NM; the show, consisting of four IFBA title fights, actually might have the potential to change the direction of Women's boxing.


The all-female boxing card has that potential simply because the card has as it's main event the "big fight" in the sport of Women's boxing. Remember Christy Martin/Lucia Rijker? That was the "big fight" about a decade ago; a lot of talk, a couple of confrontations between the fighters, even a false start with an actual date and time for the bout in Los Angeles. What happened? Nothing. Laila Ali and Ann Wolfe then donned the "big fight" mantle and the hoopla began anew. Ali/Wolfe never passed the "yadda, yadda, yadda" stage, and the clamor for the bout never got to the Martin/Rijker level because, in truth, most boxing fans realized that the level of boxing skill of an Ali/Wolfe bout probably would have come up well short of Martin/Rijker. On Friday, however, Women's boxing finally gets that "big fight." It's set for Albuquerque as Holly Holm and Mary Jo Sanders go ten rounds for Holm's IFBA junior middleweight title.

Let's ignore for the moment the rhetoric about "pound/pound supremacy" in the sport and concentrate on the fact that two very good female boxers, both unbeaten, both with excellent ring skills are going to come together for ten rounds in what should be a quality boxing match. Are Holly Holm and Mary Jo Sanders the two best female fighters in the sport today? Probably not, but they certainly make the front row of any group photo. And the fact that two of the best fighters in the sport are getting in the ring is cause enough for celebration within the boxing community, simply because it is, in today's Women's boxing environment, such a rarity. In addition, on Friday in New Mexico, there are three other title fights, all similarly showcasing quality fighters, fighting each other, each bout a possible candidate for "fight of the night" honors.

Wendy Rodriguez (18-3-3) and Hollie Dunaway (21-6) will be fighting for the vacant IFBA mini flyweight title and vacant IBA Strawweight title in a rematch of an eight round UD that Dunaway won in March 2007. The following July, Rodriguez dropped a very close, (some termed it "disputed") decision to Regina Halmich in Germany (where else?). A review of the respective records of Rodriguez and Dunaway indicates that both fighters have been in with the top boxers in the flyweight division, including Halmich and Corina Moreno. Dunaway appears to have the edge in power, with almost half her wins (10/21) coming by way of a stoppage. Both fighters possess good ring movement, portending a fast paced ten rounds, a classic boxer/puncher match-up.

Carina Moreno (17-1) and Eileen Olszewski (5-0-1) will go ten rounds for the vacant IFBA junior flyweight title. Morneo, with three times as many professional bouts as Olszewski, has a professional experience edge, but both fighters have extensive amateur backgrounds and neither one lacks familiarity with the inside of a boxing ring. In fact Olszewski's last two bouts, a ten round draw with then WBC flyweight champion Stefania Bianchini (September 2007) and a dominating ten round win over Elena Reid (February 2008) are proof positive that she has more than enough ring experience to take on the best in the flyweight division. And with Moreno as an opponent, Olszewski is getting just that, one of the best in the weight class. Olszewski is a straight up, come-forward fighter, while Moreno possesses the smooth movement befitting the veteran fighter she is. This seems likely to be another high quality ten rounds of boxing.

In what could be the action fight of the night, Chevelle Hallback (26-5-2) and Jeannine Garside (7-0-1) come together for ten rounds in a quest for the vacant IFBA lightweight crown. This is quite simply a match-up of two pressure fighters, both of whom have only one gear, forward. Hallback and Garside are two of the biggest punchers in the lightweight division; Garside dismantling the tough veteran Laura Serrano in November 2006, scoring two knockdowns on the way to a one-sided win over the veteran fighter. Hallback has eleven stoppages over her eleven year career. This one could end early or turn into ten rounds of nonstop bell-to-bell action.
The showcase of the evening is the hometown favorite, Holly Holm, defending her title against the first major, unbeaten fighter, Mary Jo Sanders, Holm has ever faced. Holm's primary edge as a fighter is her remarkable conditioning; she can go ten rounds at a fast pace, a quality that Sanders has not seen in any of her 25 wins. Sanders will try to counter the Holm speed with an almost flawless boxing style that she has honed over her five years as a professional fighter. Cutting off the ring will be Sanders' primary goal, but it's been tried before, notably by the likes of Christy Martin (who has cut off her share of rings in a long career), without great success. Sanders may also try to turn the bout into a contest of boxing skill, a technique that seemed to have some success, for Belinda Laracuente, in Holm's last bout in February. Neither fighter has big punching power but both are skilled ring practitioners and the ten rounds should prove to be a worthy main event cap for the night.

This fight card in New Mexico, is, as the hype has it, "the biggest night, ever," for the sport of Women's boxing. Not only is the sport getting, at last, it's "big fight," Holm/Sanders, but that bout is supported by three terrific fights featuring six of the highly skilled boxers in the sport. The card is receiving major PPV coverage. The card is also going to be supported, from a marketing standpoint, by a televised lead-in in the form of a very good all-female boxing card on Fox Sports Network the previous night from Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. With four title fights of this quality, the night in New Mexico will be memorable, but memorable is probably not enough, given the current state of the sport of Women's boxing. The sport needs "historic" and that's never easy. But with Holly Holm, Mary Jo Sanders, Chevelle Hallback, Jeannine Garside, Carina Moreno, Eileen Olszewski, Holly Dunaway and Wendy Rodriguez, the sport is taking it's best shot. Let's hope it makes history.

Hallback-Garside potential female Gatti-Ward fight‏; Holm-Sanders headlines June 13 at Isleta Casino & Resort in Albuquerque

Holm-Sanders headlines June 13 at Isleta Casino & Resort in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE- Four time world champion Chevelle “Fists of Steel” Hallback (26-5-2, 11 KOs) is one of the most recognizable, experienced and respected woman boxer in the world.

Her June 13 showdown against WIBA featherweight champion Jeannine “G9” Garside (7-0-1, 3 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature feature for the vacant International Female Boxers Association (IFBA) lightweight championship on the “Finally” pay-per-view event, airing live (10 PM/ET-8 PM/MT) from Isleta Casino & Resort in Albuquerque, not only figures to be a candidate for Fight of the Night, it also has all the makings of a female version of Gatti-Ward.

“Finally,” promoted by Fresquez Productions, Inc., will be produced and distributed by Integrated Sports for live viewing in the United States and Canada (10 PM/ET) on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN, Shaw Communications, DirecTV, Bell Expressvue and StarChoice for a suggested retail price of only $24.95.

The greatest collection of women boxers on one show with all eight independently rated among the world’s top 3 by divisions, including five No. 1 rated fighters, will battle in four world title bouts on “Finally.” The main event features the top two women boxers in the world today, Albuquerque favorite Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm (21-1-2, 6 KOs), recognized as the No. 1 welterweight in the world, versus the world’s No. 1 middleweight, Detroit icon Mary Jo Sanders (25-0, 8 KOs), fighting in the 10-round main event for the vacant IFBA junior middleweight crown and pound-for-pound supremacy.

The No. 1 ranked lightweight, WIBA and IBA title-holder Hallback, of Tampa, and WIBA champion Garside, the world’s No. 1 rated featherweight from Ontario, agree that their fight will steal the “Finally” thunder and the PPV event will take women’s boxing to another level.

“We fought on the same card once but I didn’t see her fight,” Hallback said of Garside. “I know she has a big heart and can really fight. I may have more pro fights, but she had a lot of amateur fights, and I didn’t have one. Experience-wise, we’re even or she may even have a little more experience. She’s coming to fight and I am, too. Our styles help us put on a show for fans. We’re both very exciting fighters. It’s going to be like the 4th of July in June. We’re going to be a tough act to follow for the main event. Jeannine’s coming prepared to win and prove that she’s one of the best. So am I. This fight will go down in the history books. In 10 years, boxing fans will be talking about Hallback-Garside.

“There are a lot of good, quality fighters – some of the best females in the world – on this pay-per-view card. I’m excited to be fighting on it. It’s important that mainstream watches so women’s boxing gets to the next level. We belong on prime time TV. I’m excited to be part of it.”

Hallback is one of only five boxers to fight Holm and Sanders, dropping 10-round decisions to both. “Holm-Sanders isn’t going to be like my fight with Garside,” Chevelle noted. “Their fight is between good boxers with some power. It’s going to be a chess match. Holly moves a lot, Mary Jo doesn’t move as much. I pushed both fights, pressuring them throughout. I think it’s going to be a close match between two good fighters.

Also on PPV, IBA junior featherweight champion Wendy Rodriguez (18-4, 3 KOs), of Los Angeles, faces WIBF-GBU/WIBC minimumweight title-holder Hollie “Hot Stuff” Dunaway (21-6, 10 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of (Van Buren) Arkansas, in a 10-round bout for vacant IBA strawweight title; WBC 2007 Fighter of the Year, WBC mininumweight champ Carina “La Reina” Moreno (11-1, 5 KOs), of Watsonville (CA), meets WIBA flyweight title-holder Eileen “The Hawaiian Mongoose” Olszewski (5-0-1), fighting out of New York City by way of Honolulu, in a 10-round fight for the IFBA junior flyweight crown. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Jeannine Garside vs Chevell Hallback co-feature June 13 on PPV‏; Holm-Sanders headlines “Finally” PPV card at Isleta Casino & Resort in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE– The much touted Fight of the Night candidate on the June 13th “Finally” pay-per-view event, airing live (10 PM/ET-8 PM/MT) from Isleta Casino & Resort in Albuquerque, is the 10-round co-feature for the vacant International Female Boxers Association (IFBA) lightweight championship between WIBA featherweight champion Jeannine “G9” Garside (7-0-1, 3 KOs) and WIBA & IBA junior lightweight title-holder Chevelle “Fists of Steel” Hallback (26-5-2, 11 KOs).



The Fresquez Productions, Inc.-promoted “Finally” will be produced and distributed by Integrated Sports for live viewing in the United States and Canada (10 PM/ET) on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN, Shaw Communications, DirecTV and StarChoice for a suggested retail price of only $24.95.

“‘Finally” features the greatest collection of women boxers on one show with all eight independently rated among the world’s top 3 by divisions, including five No. 1 rated females, battling in four world title bouts. The headliner matches the top two women boxers in the world today, Albuquerque favorite Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm (21-1-2, 6 KOs), recognized as the No. 1 welterweight in the world, against the world’s No. 1 middleweight, Detroit icon Mary Jo Sanders (25-0, 8 KOs), in the 10-round main event for the vacant IFBA junior middleweight crown as well as universal pound-for-pound supremacy in female boxing.

WIBA champion Garside, the world’s No. 1 rated featherweight from Ontario, agrees that hershowdown against the No. 1 ranked lightweight, WIBA and IBA title-holder Hallback, of Tampa, could very well steal the “Finally” PPV show. “I’ve heard that and it’s because of what both of us bring to the table,” Jeannie explained. “When things get slow in a fight, I pump-up the pace to get the crowd into it. That’s my style; I feel the crowd and love to hear them. I’m so grateful to be part of the best women’s boxing card ever. Every single bout is exciting with eight women coming to fight. The passion in us makes our fights so exciting, especially on a show of this level taking women’s boxing to another level. I’ve sparred with Mary Jo. We’re close and I’m excited to be fighting on the same card as her.

Jeannine Garside

Below and attached please find a Fresquez Productions media release about the
“I’ve known Chevelle since I turned pro and we both fought once on the same card. She is one of the best fighters out there. I believe I’ve been underestimated in the past, but she’s not going to underestimate me. We’re getting an opportunity to put a fire under the butts of everybody watching our fight. It has all of the makings of a great fight….the Fight of the Night!”

Garside was a highly-decorated Canadian amateur boxer who started boxing after watching Christy Martin fight on a Mike Tyson undercard in1996, quickly developing into the 1998 & 1999 British Columbia champion and 1998 British Columbia Fighter of the Year. She earned a spot on the Canadian National Women’s Boxing Team and won a gold medal in the 2000 Canadian National Championships.

Her boxing career suffered a set-back when she tore an ACL in her knee during a touch football game in 2000, which required reconstructive surgery, but a year later Jeannine reached the semifinals of the AIBA World Amateur Championships and she won her fourth straight national title in 2002. Garside finished her amateur career with a 40-5 record. She made her pro debut on December 4, 2004, taking a four-round decision from Heather Percival in Tacoma, Washington, captured the WIBA super bantamweight title in only her fourth pro fight, and the WIBA featherweight title in her seventh.

In her fourth pro fight, the aggressive southpaw Garside easily won a 10-round decision (99-90, 98-90, 98-91) against Lisa Brown (12-1-2) for her WIBA super bantamweight crown. Last November, Jeannine added the WIBA featherweight title belt to her collection, dominating an exciting 10-round decision (100-87, 99-89, 98-90) against Laura Serrano (16-2-2).

“When I won my first world title in only my fourth pro fight,” Garside remarked, “there were some naysayers. Now, though, I have credibility because they know I have the skill and talent of a true champion. My best experience was fighting Europeans in the amateurs, when I developed my ring generalship and mind set I need to fight. I’m proud of my amateur career, but most women don’t spend a lot of time as amateurs. Hopefully, women’s boxing will be added to the Olympics. and more women will get into amateur boxing.”

Also on PPV, IBA junior featherweight champion Wendy Rodriguez (18-4, 3 KOs), of Los Angeles, takes on WIBF-GBU/WIBC minimumweight title-holder Hollie “Hot Stuff” Dunaway (21-6, 10 KOs), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of (Van Buren) Arkansas, in a 10-round vacant IBA strawweight title fight; WBC 2007 Fighter of the Year, WBC mininumweight champ Carina “La Reina” Moreno (11-1, 5 KOs), of Watsonville (CA), faces WIBA flyweighttitle-holder Eileen “The Hawaiian Mongoose” Olszewski (5-0-1), fighting out of New York City by way of Honolulu, in a 10-round title fight for the IFBA junior flyweight crown.
