The Boxing Examiner.com recently had the opportunity to speak with Lindsay about her upcoming championship match.Thank you for taking the time to talk to The Boxing Examiner Lindsay.

TBE: You have just fought two wars against one of the best pound for pound female fighters in the world where you were able to win the first fight and get a draw in the rematch. The second fight is my candidate for fight of the year. How has these fights changed you as a boxer? What have they done for your career?

LG: I think my fights against Melissa have proved that I am the real deal. Melissa in my opinion is the best pound for pound boxer and our fights have motivated me even harder. As far as for my career this will be my third title shot and I’m thankful to get the shot to fight Jelena for the belt.

TBE: This will be your fourth very tough fight in a row all in 2010. Do you think Jelena’s inactivity will affect her when you meet in the ring?

LG: No I never underestimate a fighter especially not Jelena. She is too experienced to have a serious case of ring rust.

TBE: What do you know about Mrdjenovich?

LG: I know Jelena’s an experienced fighter and I think our styles will match up nicely.

TBE: Mrdjenovich is known for her devastating left hook and punching power. Both of you posses devastating knockout power; does her aggressive style concern you and how do you approach an opponent who can match your punching power?

LG: Without giving away too much I look forward to it! I wanna give the fans an action packed fight.

TBE: What is your prediction on this fight?

LG: I don’t like making predictions but I will state the facts and that is that I am too hungry for a world title and have trained too hard not to get it.

TBE: What are your goals for the rest of 2010 and what is on the horizon in 2011?

LG: I want to end the year as a world champ then stay busy and continue to take the fights that show the fans what women’s boxing is all about.

Thank you for your time Lindsay, I appreciate it and good luck on November 19th.
