March 24, 2006 - Shaw
Conference Centre, in Edmonton, Canada
Jelena Mrdjenovich of Edmonton, Canada, wasted little time in
stopping Donna Biggers of North Carolina. The fight
ended at 2:00 in the second round.
In the
Edmonton Sun they said that it was a
one-sided TKO beat-down.
One Canadian boxing fan
wrote to WBAN after the fight and said, “By no means do I want
to take anything away from Donna Biggers, it takes guts and a lot of
heart to get out there, but when you look at her opponents,
three-fourths of her fights were four-rounders!”
The question
WBAN has is will Team Mrdjenovich now look at fighting the
top women in her weight class. WBAN has
Mrdjenovich ranked #7,
not even CLOSE to the top. In fact she would probably
get a nosebleed just looking up at who is over her in the WBAN
rankings. Mrdjenovich will need to focus on these boxers to move up in
our rankings:
Chevelle Hallback
#1;
Melissa
Del Valle
#2;
Emiko
Raika
#3;
Belinda Laracuente
#4;
Valanna
McGee
#5;
Tracy Byrd #6.
Second question for Mrdjenovich is ----will she EVER
FIGHT out of the confines of CANADA?

Final judges scores were 49-36, 40-36, and 40-36.

Letter
from Team Mrdjovenovich2 In the All-women's boxing card, "World Title Wave",
proved to be a very entertaining card. The event was telecast on Webcast, via Pay-Per-View, through
aringoftheirown.com.
The first fight of the
night featured Shelly Burton, 157.5, of Montana, vs.
Laura "Lady Ram"
Ramsey, 163.5, of Winter Haven, Florida. Burton was supposed to
fight Laetitia Robinson, but the Burton Team was notified just shortly
before boarding their aircraft, going to Edmonton, that Robinson dropped
off the card when she was not medically cleared, due to an injury to her
nose. They were told at that time that Burton would be
fighting Laura Ramsey. Ramsey taking the fight on a 72 hour
notice.
The Burton-Ramsey bout was set for 10 rounds and they were fighting for
the vacant WIBA Intercontinental Super Middleweight. The bout was
action-filled for the two, and both displayed toughness throughout the
fight. Burton won by a majority decision, with the judges scoring the
bout 97-93, 95-95, and 97-93. This was Ramsey's first loss as a pro.
The second fight of the night,
Chevelle “ Fists of Steel" Hallback, 129,
fought Belinda Laracuente, 129.5, for the WIBA Super Featherweight
title. There were no knockdowns during the bout. Final judges scores
were 98-92, 98-92, and 98-92. WBAN would like to see
Jelena Mrdjenovich
fight Chevelle Hallback for a world title, as this would definitely be
an exciting match for boxing fans to see. In the third fight of
the night it was “Bad News” for Lisa Brown, 120 3/4, when
Jeannine
"Heartless" Garside, 121 3/4, of Windsor, Canada, with only a 3-0
record, defeated her for the WIBA super-Bantamweight world title belt.
It was truly a battle of the southpaws. Garside surprised Brown with a
third round knockdown, where Brown took an eight-count. Garside, one of
the most exciting boxers to join the pro ranks is evidently following
the footsteps of her trainer, Margaret Sideroff. Sideroff won her first
world title in her fourth pro bout.in the main event,
Jelena Mrdjenovich, 128 3/4, of Edmonton,
Canada, fought Franchesca "The Chosen One" Alcanter, 129,
for the WBC/WIBF super featherweight title. Jelena effectively used her
jab and combinations, and 24 seconds of the sixth round, threw a left
hook to Alcanter's head. Alcanter fell to the canvas with the hard left,
and the fight was stopped by KO.
Rock and Sock Productions gets high marks for this very entertaining
card, and the webcast was very professionally done.
Rock & Sock Productions in association with KO Promotions and
Independent Jewelers put on this event.
There was two male non-title bouts on the undercard.
