(FEB 4) Please
Vegas...check your morgues, check your graveyards---we think you may
be missing a body.
Not trying to be facetious, but sometimes in order to keep one's
perspective--one has only "humor" at times--to fall back on,
especially when we see what goes on in this sport. I
know I have been "laughing" a lot since 2005.
I have said it before--AND I will say it again:
ALL OF YOU---can do better in this sport! BOXERS---fight
better opponents; MANAGERS; do not disgrace women by
this lame excuse for women's boxing; TRAINERS, take some
level of responsibility of the danger you place your fighter in;
PROMOTERS, get people who have your interests at heart
when making matches for your cards---this is obviously an example of
someone who has very little matchmaking skills, and/or who is
profiting by making a lame match for monetary reasons; and
lastly, COMMISSIONERS, stop this insanity of stupid
crazy mismatches. You sanctioned this garbage last night.
Butch Gottlieb of
BoxingInLasvegas.com, who was at the fight last night, gave
his perspective of the fight between Monica Lovato and Tiffany
Wilson.
He wrote the following: "Monica Lovato (5-1 3KOs) Zamora's teammate
from Santa Fe, NM was put in a lose-lose situation as she had not
fought in 8 months and was put in against Tiffany Wilson (0-1-1)
from Moore, OK. This fight was a joke as Wilson had NO BUSINESS in
the ring with Lovato who is a very good sound, strong boxer. Wilson
came into this fight with a 0-0-1 record and in her only previous
fight 7 months ago, had a draw against a girl who was 0-8. The fight
ended in 53 seconds as Monica caught Wilson with a 3 punch
combination and she hit the canvas so hard that the referee did not
even bother to count. It is matchups like this one that demeans
women's boxing and has too many fans thinking that this is the way
that women's boxing is. If they believe that then they should watch
a Rock & Sock Productions all woman's show to see what REAL women's
boxing is all about. Monica is a much better fighter than was
shown tonight and she should be in the ring with opponents of equal
ability. Kudos go out to the trainer of Lovato and Zamora, Al Lovato
(no relation) for keeping his fighters in great shape and keeping
their edge in spite of the long layoff for both of them."
