(JAN 22) Yesterday at the Isleta Casino and Resort, in New Mexico, the press conference was held for tomorrow nights card, which will feature Holly Holm vs. Myriam Lamare, of France. Holm and Lamare will be fighting for the WIBA Welterweight title in a 10-rounder.

Lucia Rijker is in New Mexico with Lamare. She was training Lamare in Los Angeles, in preparation to fight Holm.

At the press conference, Rijker represented the sport well when she spoke to the people on scene. She also expressed that she would hope that the judges will be fair, and that Holm is considered a top boxer and she needs no help from the judges.

Lenny Fresquez, the promoter of the event, took center stage and said that none of the judges were local, and were from out of state. Fresquez went on to say, that take the equation out of the judges, and that he would pay $5,000 to either Lamare or Holm, if there is a knockout!
