Did anyone get the opportunity to watch Holm vs Laracuente, Hernandez vs Hallback, and Sitzes vs Brown last night on Fox Sports Net?
Great Fights! All of them. Fights like these are silencing many female fight critics who believe women's skills are inferior.

it was a great show, i'm surprised more people arent talking about it in here. Hallback-Hernandez is an early candadate for Fight of the Year. i want to see more shows like this.

In My Opinion:
Chevelle Hallback vs. Melissa Hernandez -
Best fight of the night. A true draw.
Lisa Brown vs. Jeri Sitzes -
The crowd was right. Sitzes won the contest.
Holly Holm vs. Belinda Laracuente -
Welterweight (or more) Holm defeated light welterweight (or less) Laracuente. Holm admitted to holding. Glove switch on Laracuente. Holm still couldn't stop Laracuente with 8-ounce gloves. Holm's fights belong on the "fair and balanced" network.

LOL J.R., go Democrats!! I really enjoyed these fights; I wish we could've seen the beginning of the Brown/Sitzes fight and the other two fights on the card. Holm wasn't very impressive, but the Sanders fight is VERY intriguing. Belinda was able to stun Holly in the last round and who knows what the outcome would've been if Belinda had started the fight the way she finished it. I thought the referee was very bias in Holm's favor also. I don't know how fighters deal with that because Holly was doing more holding than Belinda did.
I'm very happy that these fights happened and hopefully, we can see something like Elena Reid vs Monica Lovato on their next card.

I hope Elena Reid vs Monica Lovato happens, also I hope Elena wins her next fight against that other girl...um Olwenski?? |

I would have liked to have seen the first three rounds of the Brown v Sitzes match. Although Brown had a seriously swollen face, it is hard to believe the sportscasters that Sitzes won these rounds considering the dominance of Brown the later rounds.
Hernandez did a great job considering the obvious hight and weight advantage of Hallback. This was the best bout of the three in spite of being a draw.
The Holm V Laracuente bout was going to be an obvious stinker. Both women are counterpunchers waiting for the other to start the action, which fell to Holm. Neither has a KO punch, and for all of Laracuente's experience with great fighters, she just stays in thre with them, satisfied that no one can take her out. Laracuente is still young, but her future seems to be in training younger fighters like Hernandez.

Len...Holm has "souped up" her reverse gear since she was knocked out by Trisha Hill in the kickboxing ring. She's a runner. I don't get Laracuente. But she too is a runner. Since it takes a fighter to make any fight, this one didn't qualify. BUT I didn't see it.
I heard the Hallback V. Hernandez was a barn burner! FSN gets their money's worth so the fights will be rerun sometime soon.
Open question, what ever happened to Stacy Stay Lo? Was she kidnapped by peace activists?
What happened to a Hernandez V. Stacy bout? It had BANG BANG written all over it!

[/quote] Stacy Lo is returning to the ring and why are you saying Laracunte is a runner and holm is too? They both have fought tough opponents, well holm in my opinon still needs to fight Sanders but i don't know any reason for them to be runners. |
