(DEC 13) Eurosport, which has been known to be very reluctant to show women's boxing, had a pleasant surprise for the viewers, on last night's transmission from Epernay France. They televised the super featherweight bout between Myriam Chomaz, of France vs. Leticia Candal, of Spain.

The fight, scheduled for six rounds, turned out to be both entertaining and dramatic. Chomaz went forward from the first bell, but tended at times to be over eager in her attacks, which gave Candal the opportunity to score well on counter boxing.

Myriam Chomaz suffered a bad cut over her left eye in the second round, but the referee allowed her to continue the fight. The three first rounds were fairly even, maybe with a slight advantage to Candal, but Chomaz's persistent aggression paid of in the 4th round when she caught Candal with a beautiful right hand, that sent her on the canvas with 56 seconds left of the round.

Candal beat the count, only to receive a standing eight count shortly after, but she made it to the end of the round.
When the fighters came out for the 5th round, the referee asked the ring doctor to look at a bad swelling that almost closed Candal's left eye. It was decided that it would be unsafe to continue the fight, so Chomaz was declared the winner by TKO.
