(DEC 26) Hmmmm.......SOMEONE
must have been good for Santa Claus this year! In the year 2013,
we had some of the craziest and silliest published ratings on
the net that we have seen in a long time!
Yes folks, Christmas was MOST certainly good to some of these
boxers when it came to being rated in the world without even
having to WIN a bout!
Check this out…These listed fighters had NO WINS on
their record, and yet, if you look up “World Ratings” on the
net, you will probably find them on a site or two where they are listed as
one of the top ten in the world! If you are interested,
you can find them on the net.
NATIA SOKHADZE: Record: 0-1-0 – Super Middleweight – Rated #10.
Without a win…she is listed as a #10 worldwide as a Super
Middleweight----and people wonder why WBAN does not have ratings
for this weight class. SOKHADZE fought ONE four round bout. She
got STOPPED in the SECOND ROUND---and yet she is rated #10!
JULIANE KLUTHMANN: Record: 0-1-0, Super Middleweight – Rated
#10. KLUTHMANN is also rated #10 in the world as a super
middleweight. KLUTHMANN only lasted ONE round in a scheduled six
rounder---fighting only 48 SECONDS as a pro, and she shows up on
the net as a #10 rated boxer!
GABRIELLA BOHONI, 0-2-0, Super Middleweight – Rated #10. BOHONI
was stopped TWICE out of TWO pro fights. She fought a total of
three rounds as a pro, losing by TKO in both of her fights and
yet….yep you guessed it…she is “rated” #10 in the world.
AMY SELLES, 0-1-0, Heavyweight – Rated #10. SELLES is rated #10
as a heavyweight, fighting three rounds as a pro, after she
retired in the third round of her “Only” pro bout.
VICTORIA NANSEN, 0-1-0, Heavyweight #10, #1 in her country. She
lost a six-round decision and is already showing up as a
"top-ten “rated" boxer. ..Question Mark.
SARETHA BONNER, 0-2-0, Heavyweight #10, #8 in the USA. She must
be considered “Seasoned” perhaps? She did have TWO pro
fights…with the exception she did not win either bout. No
worries, on some of the ratings we found on the net---you can
lose all your fights and still be listed as a top #8 in the
world!
A few more quick
examples of 2013.....
Anne Wanjiku 0-3-2 - light middleweight #11;
Keyli Kant 0-1-0 -
light middleweight #11;
Beata Salgo 0-4-0 - light middleweight
#11;
Luisa Maria Romero 0-10-1- light middleweight #10;
Batroba
Lihavi 0-6-1 Middleweight #13.
Only in the world of boxing!
This is a mere sampling of what we found......We also found
female boxers who had only one win on their record, and being
rated in the top ten. There has got to be a better system
to rate pro females in the sport than what we are seeing in 2013
with some being winless and top world rated. Maybe in 2014
we will see some improvement...Ya...think?
Lastly - don't shoot the messenger who exposes this dilemma
in female boxing-----contact these sites and ask for
change----this does very little for the credibility of rated
female boxers in the sport.
