March 14, 2004 - Pechanga Resort, in Temecula, California
(MAR 15) With revenge on her mind Stephanie Dobbs pounded out a six-round majority decision over Nina Ahlin, 103.5,  in a strawweight battle at the Pechanga Resort and Casino on Sunday.  Dobbs, 103,  (10-13-2) avenged a loss to Ahlin with a nonstop assault of the Atlanta-based boxer who was fighting for the first time in 11 months. Their last confrontation occurred in 2002 with Ahlin winning a four-round decision 57-57, 58-56, 59-55.  “It was early in my career I had just started boxing,” said Dobbs, who lives and trains out of Moore, Oklahoma. “I didn’t know that much.”  Ahlin (10-5-1) started the bout sharply with quicker and more accurate punching. Each time Dobbs advanced Ahlin seemed to beat her to the punch but the fighter known as “All Action” kept moving in.  In the second round with the crowd entranced by the action provided in the previous stanza Ahlin continued to move and counter. Dobbs never quit and maintained the pressure despite receiving counter rights.  Finally in the third round Dobbs pressure seemed to be slowing Ahlin. The punches that had missed their mark were now landing. Ahlin landed a thudding left but was met with retaliatory strikes from Dobbs who fired two sidewinder missiles that found their mark.  Ahlin’s corner advised her to step up the attack and not to brawl. She tried fighting from long-range but her legs seemed to lack the spring. Meanwhile Dobbs seemed fresh and had a slight smile on her face as if realizing that the momentum had changed. A big right by Dobbs found its mark but Ahlin struck back. Both found targets for their right hand in the most action-packed round of the fight.  But the energy needed to win the round depleted Ahlin’s reserves as Dobbs punches had more snap. With little resistance from Ahlin, Dobbs swarmed in for the attack and walked through Ahlin’s punches. Most of Dobbs rights were reaching the target while Ahlin tried to stave off the blows but was drained.  “I was real tired,” said Ahlin, 30, who was unable to walk back to the dressing room. The effects of not fighting for almost a year had been too much for the number one ranked strawweight. “I got caught on the ropes too many times.” Dobbs said it was satisfying to avenge her earlier defeat and was confident she would win.

April 18, 2003 - The Palace, Lemoore, CA
In front of a packed audience,  at the Palace Indian Gaming Center, in Lemoore, California, had a night of women’s boxing, mixed in with a heavyweight contender Michael Grant, who fought Gilbert Martinez.  The first fight of the night was between Isra “The Raging Beauty” Girgrah, 128, and Laura Serrano, 124.  The two fought in a toe-to-toe battle that ended in a controversial  eight-round split decision for Girgrah. The boxing fans met the decision with a loud sound of “boos.”  Serrano, took the Mexico flag and ran through the audience after the decision was announced.  Girgrah delivered Serrano her first loss as a pro boxer.  Final scoring was 79-73 Serrano, and 77-75, and 78-74 Girgrah.     The second bout of the evening was  featured Sumya “The Island Girl” Anani, 141,  and Fredia “The Cheetah” Gibbs, 140.  Even before the fight began, Anani stared across the ring at Gibbs,  and shuffling her feet as if she was ready to spring in action at the ring of the bell.  Gibbs was also hyped and when the bell did begin the first round both boxers immediately began throwing leather.   There was some holding throughout the first round, and they were non-stop until the end of that round.  But it was learned shortly there after that Gibbs may have experienced a fractured hand and the fight was halted.  Anani won the fight by a TKO.  The third night of the fight featured Grant and Martinez. Their fight ended in a win for Grant by a TKO in the later rounds.  Then the ESPN2 cameras stopped rolling as the next women’s match was to take place between Nina Ahlin, 101.5, and Vaia Zaganas, 104.  It was a very entertaining fight and it was unfortunate that it did not make television. WBAN did tape the fight.  Vaia Zaganas won the fight with a final scoring of  59-55, 59-55, and 58-56. The last fight of the night was another women’s match, that could have easily been named the “fight of the night.”  Layla McCarter, 134, of Las Vegas, took on local boxer from Fresno, Lisa Lewis, 133.  It was the classic boxer against puncher.  McCarter was slick as she slipped punches by Lewis who is also one tough fighter!  The six-rounder ended in a unanimous decision for McCarter.    

December 6, 2002 - Atlanta, Georgia
Nina Ahlin, 106,  of Atlanta, GA, won by TKO over Nikki Verbeck, 106,  of Paris, AK, in the first round as a result of a blow to the throat. Ahlin goes to 9-3-1 (3 KO) while Verbeck goes 0-2-0.  The six-fight card was produced by Austin Wingo and David Oblas of Undisputed Production, with 900 attendance at this mid-town venue on a cold December night in Atlanta. Personalities attending included Terri Moss and Corrine Vanreykdegroot.  (Note: One boxing fan wrote WBAN and said that  Verbeck displayed no boxing skills and when she was hit with a flurry she attempted to "call time" forcing the referee to stop the fight. Afterwards an angry Verbeck complained she was hit in the throat and made an obscene gesture to the referee. She thought that being hit in the neck was an illegal punch that should have afforded her a break. However, in boxing it is "protect yourself at all times" and a punch to the throat is legal.

September 13, 2002 - Atlanta, Georgia
Terry Moss won a split decision over Nina Ahlin. Fight report by By Marc Delamater: After a fairly even opening round, Moss rocked Ahlin with a big overhand right in the second, which she used to peppered Ahlin's face well into the following round. Although Ahlin staged a late third-round rally, she was unable to get on track and close the show on a visibly tiring Moss. The final score cards were 38-39 and 37-39 for Moss, and 40-36 for Ahlin. Ahlin drops to 7-3-1 while Moss notches her first ring victory, going to 1-3-0. The match was part of the Rumble at the Roxy 2 fight card promoted by David Oblas' Undisputed Productions LLC held at this popular Buckhead venue, with an attendance of 500.
