(AUG 25) On Saturday night
on the "Rumble in Rainsville" Boxing event, at the Dekalb County
Coliseum, in Fort Payne, Alabama, there was a female bout featured
on the card. There were 16 additional bouts on the card
featuring men's boxing.
Middleweight Sonya
Dreiling, remained undefeated in this fight, now 4-0-0 (2KO), of
Fort Payne, Alabama, when she won the bout by a four-round unanimous
decision over Latasha Burton, now 4-14-0 (0KO), from Houma,
Louisiana.
During the
four-rounder, the two were throwing a lot of heavy leather, and
at times, Burton looked like she may
become another one of Dreilings KO opponents in this
action-packed bout.
Dreiling was much
quicker on her feet, with faster combinations, and was the
aggressor throughout most of the fight. Burton
appeared exhausted in the third round, when Dreiling threw
countless punches at Burton with Burton just covering up during
the barrage of combinations.
Sonya said after the
fight, "I wanted to give a huge shout out and thank you to one
amazing coach and my corner man CJ Burton. He has been a
pleasure to work with not only tonight but my last fight as
well. Thank you and Thank you again to Buck Courson for working
my corner tonight last minute, it meant the world having
you there."
