Terri ‘Road Warrior’ Blair came home for the sweetest of homecomings, when she successfully defended her IBA welterweight title against Sumya "The Island Girl" Anani.  This was a rematch for Blair and Anani, when Blair had won in a stunning tenth round TKO of Anani two months earlier in Indiana---a neutral venue for both boxers. In that first fight with Anani, some may have thought Blair's win was a fluke.  However, Blair proved in front of her family, friends, and all that attended this night, that it wasn’t a fluke at all – not by a long shot--- when she knocked Anani down, not once or twice, but four times, once in the fifth round and three times in the ninth round, before referee Bobby Dixon stopped the contest with one second left in the round.  Weights:  Blair, 141 - Anani - 143.  Full Report by Longjab

December 3, 2004 - Municipal Auditorium, in Kansas City, Missouri WBAN Record Member's photo gallery #228
Sumya “The Island Girl” Anani, 140,  of Kansas City, successfully defended her WIBA 140 lb., Junior welterweight title, when she won by a 10-round unanimous decision over Stephanie Jaramillo, 140, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jaramillo, with a heart of a lion, took the fight against Anani, after Anani’s original opponent, Daryls Pardo of Colombia fell through when she was having problems getting into the United States. Anani has only managed to get two fights in the last two years----not because she does not want to fight, but because she can’t get a fight. Most of the more well known top contenders in the sport, want big purses and television to step in the ring with Anani. WBAN is very impressed with Jaramillo for stepping up to the plate, and fighting a top female boxer as Anani,  for a world title belt. Too often, this sport is seeing mediocre “World title” fights that take place, and by all rights should not even be taking place.  Anani was the aggressor throughout the bout, with delivering a bloodied nose to Jaramillo in the fourth, and a knockdown near the end of the ninth round. In the tenth, Jaramillo had a point deducted for holding. Final scoring by judges was 100-88, 100-88, 99-89. Anani improves her record to 24-1-1 (10KO), and Jaramillo is now 4-2-1 (2KO).  On the undercard, Sharon Gaines, 121,  of Kansas City, won a four-round unanimous decision over pro debuter Camille Casson, 120,  of Covington, Kentucky. Gaines is now 5-2-0 (0KO), and Casson is 0-1-0 (0KO). Behind the Scenes in Kansas City ..By Lori Steinhorst

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.
