March 27, 2004 - Lincoln Theatre, in Washington,
District Of Columbia
Lightweight Multi-world title holder Isra Girgrah, 131, 27-3-2, won a six-round unanimous decision over Shakurah Witherspoon, 132 ½, now 10-34-1 (3K0) in a scheduled six-rounder...Who would have guessed that Girgrah would win this one?

August 9, 2003 - Convention Center -
Washington, D.C.  Report by Longjab
Here at the new beautiful state of the art D.C. Convention Center in it's inaugural sporting event, a fairly large crowd saw the 'Raging Beauty' Isra Girgrah (129) win a tight, but controversial unanimous decision over Melissa 'Honey Girl' Del Valle (132) over eight rounds. The scorecards by the three judges were 78-74, 78-74, and 77-75. The crowd’s response was not in agreement with the decision. This observer had it 78-76, in favor of Del Valle.  In a non-title match up, Del Valle, coming in from Miami, started out quickly, wasting no time by going on a relentless attack from the opening bell. She peppered Girgrah with some heavy punches early and had the hometown favorite backing up during the first two rounds.  Girgrah, sensing the need to respond, returned the favor in the third and had Del Valle on her ‘bicycle’ throughout most of the round.  In the fourth, the two female combatants decided to mix it up more from the inside and equally traded punches in what looked like an even round.  Then, in the fifth, Del Valle went to more of a ‘cut and dance’ approach and out slicked the flatfooted Girgrah, by moving away when Girgrah attempted to counter Del Valle’s quicker punches. There were a few holds here and there, but for the most part a clean round that went to the slick and flashy Del Valle.  The sixth round was another close encounters round where Girgrah attempted to slow Del Valle down by holding a little and punching more before the referee ordered them to break. The round was even.  In the seventh, Girgrah went on the offensive and stalked a dancing Del Valle, who worked off the ropes and tried to frustrate Girgrah, sensing that she needed the round. Girgrah landed the more effective punches and took the round.  Then, in the eighth and final round, both ladies went toe to toe but Del Valle seemed to have more bounce and dance in her feet and fought off the ropes more toward the end in order to preserve what was perceived as a narrow lead and took the round in my opinion, but the decision went the other way in the final outcome, with Girgrah, the hometown favorite, getting the decision while the fans were vocally not in favor of the decision.  Some members of the audience thought that Del Valle was the better of the two fighters and should have won the decision.

July 11, 2003 -Resort Casino Hotel, Atlanta City, New Jersey
Irsa Girgrah, now 26-3-2,Washington, D.C., defeated Trish "TNT" Hill, now 5-3, Atlanta, with an eight-round unanimous decision.  News sources reported that Girgrah went down in the second round, but went on to dominate the latter stages of the fight.  Final judges scores was 77-75, 76-75, 76-75.

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 wond 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.

February 28, 2002 - Baltimore, Maryland
Before a banquet crowd in The International Room of The Baltimore Wyndham Hotel, Isra "Raging Beauty" Girgrah won a ten-round split decision and retained her UBA Junior lightweight belt over a very game and gracious Tracy 'The Lady' Byrd. After a rather even two rounds of competitive action, Girgrah opened things up a little when she landed a good right on Byrd that dropped her to the canvas. However,  the Byrd, who proved to be a tough opponent got up to take a standing eight count. From then on, though, it seemed to this observer that Byrd got rather busy the rest of the fight, pressing most of the action by trying to bang with Girgrah from the inside while Girgrah was boxing her way through the fight with rather clean shots from the outside. Byrd did some roughing up of Girgrah from the inside and managed to rock Girgrah with a few rights of her own, but never managed to knock Girgrah to the canvas. The scorecards were 97-92, 92-96, & 97-92 in favor of Girgrah. The judges were not all looking at the same fight.  This one had rematch written all over it.

June 1, 2001 - Sands Hotel and Casino,
Atlantic City, New Jersey
Isra Girgrah, 128,  won a 10-round unanimous decision over Snodene Blakeney, 130, for the vacant IWBF Junior lightweight title. In the Atlantic City Press, reporter Guy Gargan wrote: "Female boxer Isra Girgrah entered the ring Friday at the Sands Casino Hotel with her entourage carrying her two championship belts. World heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, her friend and co-trainee at the Round 1 Gym in Baltimore, Md., was carrying one of them.  After all this fanfare, it wasn’t an easy night for Girgrah, but she left the ring a little less than an hour later wearing a third belt.  Using ring generalship, Girgrah came on to outpoint brawling Snodene Blakeney of Austin, Tex., over 10 rounds. She won the vacant Women’s International Boxing Federation junior-lightweight championship. Girgrah, 128-pounds, improved to 18-3, with eight knockouts. Blakeney, who weighed in at the junior-lightweight limit of 130 pounds, ignored her underdog role and flailed away with both hands as the bout began. She never let up, but Girgrah found the range from the fourth round on, and generally landed better punches. Judge John Reilly and Luis Rivera both scored it 97-93 for Girgrah, and judge Alan Rubinstein had it 97-94. The Press scored it 98-95 for Girgrah.

On January 12, 2001, Irsa Girgrah, 133, faced Sue Mullett, 134, in a scheduled 10-rounder for the UBA (Universal Boxing Association) title, that ended in a TKO :22 in the fourth round!  As one news source reported,  Isra Girgrah (16-3-2, 8 KOs) made good on her preflight prediction by stopping Susan Mullett (7-6) with a fourth-round TKO. Girgrah dropped Mullett  to the canvas with a straight right at the end of the third round, then started the fourth with a combination of punches, that pinned Mullett on the ropes.  The referee intervened and stopped the fight.  Girgrah did not wear her traditional boxing trunks, and came donning in the ring a red skirt with black tights. Apparently the skirt was so tight that Girgrah's corner had to rip the seams on both sides after the first round to give her more freedom to move!
