(MAR 29) On Saturday night, at
the Gymnasium, in Jinju City, South Korea, Hyo-Min Kim, 130, won
by TKO over female boxer Saicon Taichio, now 0-2-0,
for the "Interim" WBA super featherweight world title.
The good news is that the
Referee stopped the fight in the fourth round---the bad news
is that the two were fighting for a world title---which from
viewing the video footage of this fight on
You Tube,
this fight did not measure up to that level in the sport.
Now with that said-----IF Kim and Taichio had been fighting a
non-title fight that was a four-rounder or six-rounder, it would
have probably been considered a middle-of-the-road bout. Kim did
display some interesting skills---but she was much too skillful
for Taichio, who had even turned her back slightly in an
amateurish fashion in the third round, when Kim was putting the
pressure on her with a barrage of combinations.
