(MAY 25) On Friday
evening a surprised "Mighty" Melissa McMorrow was
welcomed home by her fight fans from all around the
Bay Area. Family, friends, colleagues, B Street
Boxing fighters and gym members were all anxious to
celebrate with the new WBO and WIBF champion after
witnessing over live stream what many have deemed to
be the upset of the year.
The victory
party was awesome with “Mighty” reliving the tense
moment leading up to receiving a decision in a
foreign language, fans sharing stories on watching
the fight while at work and everyone asking the
Champ what is next.
McMorrow's Family - Dad, Mom, and younger sister
So what is
next? After some much deserved time off to celebrate
"Mighty" will be back in the gym training for her
rematch with Kentikian. She and trainer Eddie Croft
will be going after Kentikian's remaining belt...the
one that has eluded her twice.

WBAN's Comments...This just may
be one of the biggest Upsets of the Year. No easy task to
go to another boxers country, and fight not only the boxer but
the hometown crowd. McMorrow managed to give Susi
Kentikian, of Germany, who came into the fight with a pristine
record of 29-0-0, and leaving the fight with her first ever
defeat!
