(MARCH 3) Last night at the
Crown Reef Resort and Conference Center, in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, #2 in the world, Bridgett "Baby Doll" Riley
took on a very ripe tomato can by the name of Linda Edwards.
According to the boxing records WBAN could dig up on this fighter, Edwards
has had three minutes of experience in the ring. Edwards was 0-3-0,
before fighting the "Baby Doll" and she is now 0-4-0, with
four rounds of boxing as Edwards has not lasted more than one round in
four bouts. Also, according to these records, Edwards has not had
a fight since the year 2000.
"The Sun-News said
in its headline." "Baby
Doll" wins in brutal Fashion….(I
am really glad that I didn’t have a full stomach when I read
this…) The Sun-News reporter went on to say.: "Bridgett
‘Baby Doll’ Riley's walk to the ring took more time than she spent
in it. When the bell sounded for the scheduled six-round Bantamweight
fight, at the Crown Reef Resort and Conference Center, Riley charged
across the ring and pummeled Linda Edwards into submission just 27
seconds into the bout."
Riley’s brave response as
a post-fight comment was that she felt confident coming into the
fight, but that "you never know what can happen." The Sun
News reporter said that after Edwards took a couple of shots early in
the fight that her (Edwards) only defense was to "turn her back
to the aggressive" Riley.
He went on to report,
"Riley dropped Edwards as she tried to turn around. Doctors
jumped into the ring, and Edwards left under their care. WBAN
remembers not too long ago that "Baby Doll" said that
women’s Boxing was in the "toilet." Well this match last
night, put Riley right in a cesspool. Sue TL Fox 03/03/02
