(AUG 4) Elena "Baby Doll" Reid
(17-3-5) and Mary "The Heat" Ortega (28-2-1) come together for a
WIBA title clash when "A Ring of Their Own" travels to Harrahs, Lake
Tahoe August 31st. Both fighters are training hard
and are ready to fight it out in the main event for the WIBA
Flyweight title.
| Reid is coming off a
tough loss to Regina Halmich in Germany and this makes
her third title bid.
Does she feel third time is the
charm? "Well, it’s my first time in the states to fight for
a title, so I think that’s on my side!" Reid exclaimed. Not
fighting since December hardly means "Baby Doll" has been
inactive. "I’ve
been training the whole time, and was supposed to have 3
different fights, but they fell through for whatever reason,
but even though that happened I’ve been working doing my
part to get better at what I do. I’ve had awesome training
and sparring and I FEEL GOOD!" |
Opponent Mary Ortega last saw ring action in August of 2005, and
since has recovered from a hand injury, which has barely slowed
her down and she is not worried about her time away from
fighting. "No, I’m not worried. I broke my hand in September,
dislocated my thumb. I was still hitting the bag and mitts and
running, just working left handed," says the determined Ortega.
Fighting Reid will be Ortega’s fourth time to try and claim a
title and she’s prepared to win. "I’m training hard, training
for the win. And I know Elena is too. I never take ANYTHING
lightly. I’m coming in to the fight knowing it’s gonna be a war
and I hope it is because that’s what people want to watch!"
Catch action between Elena "Baby Doll" Reid and Mary "The Heat"
Ortega as "A Ring of Their Own" presents another night of great
female boxing at Harrahs, Lake Tahoe, Nevada. For more
