Night of the Super Heroes
By Ewan Whyte

May 10, 2008

     
   
   
   
   

In the space of 24 hours earlier this week, Roberto ’The Spider' Vásquez  lost seven pounds and his trainer. But it wasn't enough: fined $3,000 for coming in at 118 rather than 115, Vásquez  was booed all the way to his third round TKO of the overmatched César Singo and thence to the dressing room. "Why not go join the heavyweights, fat boy?" yelled one spectator. The only kind of spider people are willing to accept, it seems, is an itsy-bitsy one. (No wonder so many are anorexic!)

Rather more to everyone's liking were the lines of Alys 'La China' Sánchez of Venezuela, who was making her debut. "Like a princess in a fairy tale.." one journalist described her, "... toothsome, slender, smiling, sweet-tempered and demure... our first childhood sweetheart... the little friend we´d love to have had at school, returning suddenly in the guise of super heroine to rout with her fists the spitfires and viragos that make our lives a misery."

Besides being full of themselves, he added by way of explanation, most female sporting personalities – with one or two exceptions (whom he named) – could use a lesson in manners.

(The travails of the sports journalist....)

Not among the named exceptions was Sánchez's opponent on Wednesday evening, the Panamanian 'tomboy' Kathia Montuto, who earned a certain notoriety last year by insulting Sánchez's friend and sparring partner Ogleydis  Suárez prior to their fight in terms considered "unfit fit to print". Last Tuesday, Montuto was booed at the weigh-in, and it didn't require too much effort to infer that one of the "spitfires" to whom our put-upon wordsmith may have been referring was her.

Well Sánchez beat her. She didn't knock her out, as Panamá América erroneously reported, and it wasn't the kind of thrashing Suárez gave her, but at the end of the four rounds all three judges had the Venezuelan ahead. According to the report provided by the promoters, it was a fight that excited "almost to the point of delirium" the sell-out crowd. Montuto, who got the worst of it, was commended for not quitting, whilst the debutante, Sánchez, "proved she had guts as well as beauty". Montuto connected several times with hard punches to the twenty-one-year old's body – not to mention her "pretty face" – but she never once flinched.

Of the reporters who covered it, (Ana Cristina Tapia chose not to mention the women at all in her account of the evening's activities and even expunged them from the list of results!) all seemed to agree it was a good fight, and the performance of Sánchez in particular was well received, though Rodolfo J. Newland of El Siglo, basing his judgement presumably upon her superior morphology (as he can never have seen her fight),  found the victory of the Venezuelan 'predictable'.

That of her fellow countrywoman Ámbar Fajardo over Mónica Acosta was equally predictable in his view, along with the totality of the men's fights, three quarters of which ended inside the distance (though only one inside the 8 minutes allotted to Sánchez and Montuto). Undefeated now after seven outings, Fajardo managed to improve on the split decision in her favour last time the two met but failed to impose her will on the game Colombian.
