In front of 3,358 boxing fans, at the HP Pavilion, Molly McConnell, 140,  Portland, Oregon, now 3-0-0 (1KO), stopped Tracy Carlton, 134, now  0-7-1, of Compton, California,  in the third round by TKO. This was a rematch for the two, in which McConnell won by a four-round unanimous decision the first time.  Bill Mertz, who trains McConnell said, "We had a great time and Molly boxed better than ever using a stiff jab and often using the triple jab to close on her running opponent. We Told Jackie Kallen (Molly's manager) that the next fight we would like to go six. Jackie brought her friend Ray Leonard in the dressing room and visited for over a half hour. I told him thank you for taking the time and he said: 'Being friendly to people is free'. I was never a Sugar Ray fan, but with an attitude like that; 'I Love the guy'. "

August 27, 2004 - Burbank Hilton Convention Center, Burbank, California
Fontana’s Heather Percival tangled with Compton’s Tracy Carlton in a rematch at the Burbank Hilton Convention Center on Friday. Despite a few notable changes it was the same outcome. Percival (2-0), looking trimmer at 125 pounds, used a steady stream of snapping jabs with slick foot movement to keep the stronger Carlton from setting up her punches.  “My corner said she was going to come after me and to keep my defense tight,” said Percival, who is trained by Larry Ramirez and son Frank Ramirez. “I used my jab to set her up.”   In the previous fight held several months ago in Montebello, Carlton (1-5) managed to use her strength to contain Percival in the corners of the ring while releasing bludgeoning punches. This time Percival slipped away effortlessly and left a left hook as a reminder that things had changed.   After four rounds the judges scored it 40-36, 39-37 twice for Percival. There were no knockdowns.  “They called us three days ago to see if we would fight her,” said Ramirez, who formerly worked on the 1988 U.S. Olympic boxing team. “We knew what to expect and they knew what to expect.”  The slight change was Percival’s combination punching and adept movements to get out of range once she landed her punches.   “She sparred a lot with Mariana Juarez and Rhonda Luna,” said Ramirez of the junior bantamweight and featherweight contenders out of Southern California. “She really picked up a lot.”  Percival, quickly nodded in agreement that sparring with the two ring savvy female fighters added to her arsenal.   “You can’t help but learn more when you spar against those girls,” said Percival.  Despite a five-pound weight advantage, Carlton was unable to penetrate Percival’s defense set up by a stinging jab.  “We knew she was overweight but we didn’t care,” said Percival. “I’m looking forward to my next fight.”  Report by Mara Castillon

June 18, 2004 - Quiet Cannon Country Club, Montebello, California
Fontana’s Heather Percival returned to the ring after several years and defeated the lean and tough Tracy Carlton. It was Percival’s pro debut. She had formerly been a top ranking amateur but left boxing for personal reasons.  Percival (1-0), who fights out of the Fontana Boxing Club and is trained by Larry and Frank Ramirez – father and son team – began the first round circling left and right behind a stiff steady jab. Though Carlton was the taller fighter, Percival’s jab found its mark repeatedly. At the end of the round Carlton landed two counter rights.  The second round saw Carlton (1-3) use her counter right to open the stanza. The jolting shots snapped Percival’s head back but when Carlton tried to follow up, the Fontana fighter moved left or right and pivoted out of the danger zone like a seasoned pro.  Percival landed several one-twos that snapped Carlton’s head back. Angered by the punches, Carlton chased her opponent and landed a solid right hand that may have won her the round.  In the third round Carlton began using her height to avoid the jabs and leaned back to avoid punches. Percival adjusted her jabs and began following with rights that found Carlton’s head repeatedly, Though the Compton fighter was hit many times she never wavered in trying to land one of her own. On occasion she rocked Percival with punches that had some snap to them. The final round saw Percival go back to the jab with Carlton countering with rights. But not enough punching by Cartlon told the story for the judges. Percival won her first pro fight by scores 40-36 twice and 39-37.   “She had been away for three years,” said Larry Ramirez trainer. “She had a lot of good sparring with Mariana Juarez and Rhonda Luna. That’s what makes a difference. It’s the sparring.” Report by Mara Castillon

That's right folks...Retired world champion, Bonnie Canino, stepped up to the plate to fight Chevelle Hallback.  Hallback's team and promoter tried in vain to find an opponent, but could not get one, so at the VERY last minute, Canino, took on the task.  The two fought in a four-rounder, on the second fight of the night.  It was pure pleasure to want two highly-skilled women boxers fight it out.  Unfortunately, as we see many times in the sport, the fight was stopped. Too soon, maybe so, maybe not, but WBAN felt that Canino would have probably weathered through the storm with Hallback in the third round. Hallback won by TKO.  Also, on the first fight of the night, pro debuter Molly McConnell won by a four-round unanimous decision over Tracy Carlton.

Blanca Hilder, of San Francisco, California had a four-round draw with Tracy Carlton of Compton.  Both were making their pro debut.  "America's Bad Girl" Tonya Harding, 3-2-0 (0KO), of Vancouver, Washington, pulled out of the fight on this card just hours before showtime.  Harding was first set to fight Blanca Hilder, who would have been making her pro debut.  But Harding did not want to fight her according to news sources.  Then the promoter found another female boxer, Tracy Carlton of Compton, California, who would have also made her pro debut, and Harding pulled out of that match.  According to the Contra Times News, Harding was paid $12,000 in advance.  News Story #1 - Oakland Tribune
