(MAY 11) In some Amateur boxing action that took place in Australia, on May
7, 2005, Jasmin "Queen Jazz" Ward, 16 years old, silenced her critics
by defeating Corrie Farr, 26 years old, 21–13 to make it into
the Finals of the Queensland Open Amateur Titles held on the Gold Coast in
Australia May 2nd.
Farr, a seasoned Amateur competitor and
former Aussie Champion had trouble keeping up to the pace set by this
Fighting Pixie 5’2”.
Jasmin had to fight Cherie Ward (no relation) who at 32 years stands
at about 5’11” kept Jasmin at bay with her superior reach frustrating the
smaller boxer somewhat, but was overcoming this obstacle toward the
end of the fight when she finally got inside and started to deliver some
serious body blows, making it a tight finish. Jasmin lost on points, but she
proved she is a real fighter to be reckoned with and has left her mark on
Women's Boxing in
Australia.
Jasmin is certain she can overcome Cherie’s reach and beat her at the Golden
gloves later this year. Jasmin will be one to look out for at the Olympics
in Beijing if that comes to fruition for Women’s Boxing.
