WBAN Record Member's MPEG/Photo galleries, #298, #297, #296, #295, *294, Photos only  in #293, #292  In the outdoor Amphitheatre, on an all-women's card, in "A Ring of Their Own" boxing event, in the first fight of the night, Shadina Pennybaker, had an outright war with Daria Hill of New Jersey, in six "tough"  rounds of boxing.  In what could have been the best fight of the night (but as boxing fans found out) all of the matches could have been classified as the best fight of the night, Pennybaker won by a close unanimous decision.   Both fighters not only displayed great skill, but very good sportsmanship. Final judges scores 57-55, 56-55, 56-55. The second fight of the night was a six rounder between Jeannine Garside, 130,  of Windsor, Canada and Rita Valentini, 125, of Hollywood, California.  The fight started out to be even, but it did not take long for Garside to dominate the bout.  Garside won by a fifth round TKO, 1:25 seconds,  Garside is a stellar example, why women should try to learn their skills in the amateurs before turning pro.  She went to the body, throwing effective combinations, and as the fight progressed she continued to put more pressure on Valentini.   In the third match, they had a special feature with Elena "Baby Doll" Reid fighting a four-round exhibition against Carina Moreno.  Reid and Moreno were both warming up for their world title bouts. Reid is fighting Regina Halmich in a rematch on December 3,  2005, in Germany (WIBF belt), and Moreno will be fighting Siriporn in Thailand (WBC belt).  In a fourth match, Laura "Lady Ram" Ramsey, 164, of Florida, fought Sweden's Asa Sandell, 165.  In the first round, WBAN had Sandell ahead, as she was throwing crisp jabs, and had an obvious height advantage. In the second round, Sandell began to have a nose bleed, and had an accidental slip this round. In the sixth round, Ramsey knocked Sandell to the canvas, with her taking an eight count. Ramsey won the fight by a six-round split decision.  In the main event, Wendy Rodriguez, 105,  won an eight-round unanimous decision over Yvonne Caples, 105.  The two mixed it up for eight rounds, with Rodriguez out-pointing Caples.  There were no knockdowns in the bout.  Arnie Rosenthal, and Ken Weiss, along with matchmaker Wanda Bruce put on an excellent show, with great matchups.

November 28, 2004 - Riot At the Hyatt, Monterey, California  WBAN Record Member's photo/mpeg #227
Isaiah Guzman, a sports reporter for the Santa Cruz Sentinel wrote the following:  Carina Moreno, 23, 108 lbs., won a unanimous decision (80-72) to improve to 7-0 as a pro while Yvonne Caples, 32, 107, dropped to 7-7-2. Moreno was originally scheduled to face Julie Rubalcava (4-0) but Rubalcava backed out the week of the fight due to an injury she sustained to her hand in a fight the week before.  The 109-pound bout was planned to go six rounds but was lengthened to eight when several of the men’s fights dropped out the day before.  “It was nothing,” Moreno said of going the extra two rounds. “I didn’t really get tired.” Aside from a lump over her left eye from a head butt, Moreno came out of what was supposed to be the biggest test of her young pro-career virtually unscathed. Moreno even dazed Caples in the seventh round when she caught her with a good combination.  “I’ve got to calm down when I see an opponent hurt because I get a little too excited,” Moreno said.  Moreno fought from the fourth round on with a hurt right hand. She wasn’t sure how she hurt it but said she couldn’t throw it with as much force from that point on.  “(Trainer Rick Noble) said forget about the pain just keep throwing and I kept on throwing it,” Moreno said. Both Moreno and Noble were ecstatic with the win over the more experienced, former International Female Boxing Association world champion.  The final judges scores were 80-72 on all cards.

Carina Moreno, 111, of Watsonville, California, remained undefeated, now 4-0-0 (2 KO) when she won by a six-round unanimous decision over last-minute opponent, 23-year old Stephanie Dobbs, 110, of Moore, Oklahoma.  In the Monterey Herald, staff writer Dennis Taylor reported that it was a good test for Moreno, as this was her first six-rounder fighting as a pro.  Taylor wrote, "Almost as satisfying as the victory Saturday night was the fact that Watsonville's Carina Moreno escaped her first-ever six-round fight with an unmarked face -- imperative for a pro boxer who has another fight scheduled just three weeks down the road." Taylor said that Moreno survived a physical, occasionally rambunctious battle with a "Warrior" named Stephanie Dobbs, winning with a unanimous decision (60-53 all score cards.  "Moreno stuck her opponent repeatedly with a long left jab, peppered her with effective combinations, and was given credit for a knockdown just before the second-round bell."  Full Copyrighted story by the Monterey Herald  Also Kelsey Jeffries won a six-round unanimous decision over Lisa Lewis in a six-rounder, with Jeffries winning all rounds.
