Plenty of endeavor and the Swidish girl looks very tidy, but not nearly the same quality as the Mexican girls.
The picture you have of Eva Halasi is actually Cecilia Braekhus, who Mikaela Lauren lost to a while back. Also heard that Olivia didn’t win in the rematch from WBAN.
You are so right!!! Thank you so much for your excellent eye! And yes indeed, Oliva lost in a unanimous decision. Thanks again for the catch!
You’re welcome! 🙂 I’m sure the fight between Olivia and Frida was a wonderful match, regardless of the outcome.
We just need to get more elite matches in women’s boxing. There are some fights, and there were, that need to happen…and they’re not doing it.
Agreed. There are some phenomenal fighters at the elite level, not to mention the amateurs who will be representing their countries at the 2012 Olympics. What gets me is that in countries such as Sweden, Argentina and Mexico, the sport is recognized and supported by excellent promoting and televised fights. Meanwhile in the United States, one is lucky to view it on streaming video such as Gofightlive.tv! (http://www.gfl.tv). And not too sound ungrateful for what GFL.TV does or for the fact that folks put up women’s bouts on YouTube but GRRRRRRR when it comes to mainstream boxing television — Televisio accepted which did broadcast Holly Holm’s fight this past spring has a main event 😉
It’s time for HBO, Showtime & ESPN to WAKE-UP!!!
