(SEPT 12) On Saturday,
September 10th, at the Casino Aztar, in Evansville, Indiana, Kelli Cofer,
127.4, of Ohio, won a six-round unanimous decision over Angel
McNamara, 130.4. Final judges scores were 59-55, 59-55, and 58-56. The
contract weight was for 130 lbs, plus or minus one pound.
Originally Kristy Follmar was supposed to fight on this card, but WBAN
was told that they could not find an opponent for her. WBAN spoke
to Cofer today, and she said that she would like to fight Follmar in the
near future. Cofer also said that even though she weighed low on
one scale they had used, she fights at 130.
WBAN also received a brief overview of the fight by a ringside observer,
and they told WBAN the following: "Both are used to fighting defensively
and counter punching. Probably the first time each has fought someone
their own height. Angel an inch or 2 taller. They both appeared to wait
on the other for a short time and then Kelli took the fight to Angel and
easily outscored her with her quick punching and footwork. Angel
would wait and then throw a quick flurry but was outpunched overall
around 3 or 4 to 1. Kelli landed several strong right hooks to the body
and head and straight lefts to the body and head. Angel landed a few
looping rights. Angel appeared to be in trouble at the end of the 5th
when she almost came through the ropes in Kelli's corner. Wobbled by
hooks a couple of times in a couple of rounds but recovered easily.
Kelli never appeared to be in any trouble. Angel appeared the more tired
of the two in the last 2 rounds."
