Waco TX (June 2, 2004) Responding to those
who have been critical over her actions after Ann Wolfe KO'ed Vonda Ward,
Ann Wolfe said she is sorry if anyone was offended. Further, Ann
said she did not immediately realize the extent of Ward's injuries from the
single overhand right that sent Ward to the canvas and to the hospital.
"I know I hit her hard, but I didn't think it was that hard", Wolfe said. "I
guess the fact the she [Ward] was coming at me and I was moving toward her
when I threw the punch made it more effective than I realized".
Wolfe said she was timing and measuring Ward, particularly because of her
height. "She is so much taller than anybody I've been in the ring with, I
had to find her head. The first right I threw with force landed on her
shoulder, so I knew I had to go higher".
Wolfe said she did not intend to disrespect Ward and she was concerned for
her once she learned Ward wasn't getting up. "When they started to bring in
the stretcher, I realized she was hurt worse than I thought. I tried to
visit her at the hospital and I called her manager at the hospital and he
said she would be okay."
"When I told Sean O'Grady Vonda would have done the same thing to me, I
meant she would have knocked me out if she could have. We all run that risk
every time we step into the ring. When I fight, my main objective is to
knock out my opponent. I know I punch hard and I will not apologize for
that. But, if my actions after the knock out offended anyone, I am truly
sorry." Ann Wolfe said. |
