This is a pretty fine title bout.
BoxRec also has Halmich as #1 and Milo as #3.

Yes, this is a good opponent. Even her losses were against good fighters. Again, this would be a great fight without Germany judges. I do understand why fighters are willing to fight there (EUROS).

Milo is training very hard. She is changed her coach and hometown, and make arrangements for big UPSET.
Go go Viki to Victory!!!

Halmich won by a UD, 98:92, 99:92, and 97:93. I wish Stephanie could fight her. It would be such an honor to say she fought one of women's boxing's all time greats. Bobby

Here is a report that Ewan Whyte sent to WBAN: With a little more punching power, Viktoria Milo could do someone a real mischief. This evening, it took her far too long to work out Regina Halmich's complex and varied style, but once she did, she looked as good as, if not better than, her far more experienced opponent. Showing tremendous courage, after taking something of a pasting in the first half of the fight (including a jarring overhand right in the fourth), the willowy, almost elfin, Hungarian came back strongly in the sixth and seventh, making quite a mess of Halmich's face in the process. By the eighth, Milo had learned (at last!) how to use her superior reach to keep Halmich at bay and begun landing combinations of her own that left the German bleeding – at once stage quite freely – from a cut to the corner of her left eye and with a swelling under the right; but Halmich hung tough and managed to do enough in the later stages to hold on to her crown and chalk up her fiftieth career victory by the wide but – given that the Hungarian was getting stronger, and she herself fading, in the latter stages – misleading margin of 98–92, 99–92, 97–93.
Did Halmich win? According to the judges, yes. Did she 'show' Milo? Not really. In fact, not at all. I imagine Milo left the ring with even more confidence in her own ability than she entered it; and I can't help wondering whether, if they'd been fighting ten three minute rounds, or fifteen two minute rounds, the ultra–fit Hungarian might not have won.Now with picture gallery on WBAN at: www.womenboxing.com/NEWS2006/news050606halmich.htm

I thought she showed Milo. I wonder how many rounds Ewan gave Milo? I didn't find the fight a thriller, because from the get-go it was clear Milo had nothing that could give Regina problems. Yes Milo showed heart but simply didn't have enough tools to make me sit on the edge of my seat. The cut above the eye was from a classic headbut.
