Upcoming Bouts: December 5 to December 9

[len]

Tuesday, Dec 5. Sue Fox has Karolina Lukasik 5-0 of Poland fighting Paola Casalinuovo 7-0 (7) of Argentina fighting for the WIBF Super Welterweight Title in Solden, Austria. I cannot find them listed on the card however.

Thursday, Dec 7. In Santa Fe, Agentina: Maria del Carmen Potenza 2-4-1 takes on debuting Sonia Edith Paladina in a Junior Featherweight four. In Pikesville, Maryland: Shelly Sivert makes her pro debut against Sharmain Pouncy 1-0 in a Middleweight four.

Friday, Dec 8. In Huntington, Station, New York: Jamie McGrath 1-0 fights Eileen Olszewski 1-0 in a flyweight four. Dee Williams posted that Yvonne Caples 7-10 2 (1) will fight Suszannah Warner 5-3 (1) for the NABF Atomweight (102 pounds) Title at the Paradise Theatre in the Bronx (NYC) However that card has not yet been filled out. Hopefully it will happen.

Saturday, Dec 9. In Parkersburg, West Virginia: Roxanne Ward 1-0 (1) meets Natatia Porter 3-0 (1) in a Middleweight four. BoxRec reports that newly crowned champ Duda Yankovich will defend her WBC Female Light Welter Title in Zagreb, Croatia vs TBA. Since I have been burned before on her fighting in Zagreb, I will consider this just a rumor unless I get more information from other sources.

Also on Saturday, in Trinadad: A record of sorts will be set as a total of seven santioning bodies are recognizing the winner of the Giselle Salandy 12-0 (6) - Lisa Holewyne 23-17-2 (6) fight as their champion in the ultimate title unification bout. This is for the WBC and WBA Female Light Middleweight titles, the NABC and WBE Women's Light Middleweight Titles, and the IWBF, IWBA, and IFBA Light Middleweight Titles. (Ultimate proof that there are far too many sanctioning bodies. Now that the men's governing bodies are crowning women champs, shouldn't the women's santioning bodies form parterships with them.)

Corrections: The above posting should have read recently crowned WIBA Light Welter champ Duda Yankovich. As for her fighting for the WBC female crown, the WBC site says nothing on the subject.

So far, the Paradise theatre in NYC continues to list only the main event, Andy Tsukan defending his NABF Light Midlle title agqinst Thomas Davis. No mention of a female bout let alone a titlefight.

I now have confirmation of the Lukasik-Casalinuovo title fight in Solden, Austria.

Two additions! Saturday, Dec 9 in Sao Paulo, Brazil: Brazilian Leticia Rojo 1-1 vs Argentinian Guillermina Fernandez 0-4 in a Light Welter four. This is Rojo's normal weight while Fernandez is comming down from middleweight trying to gain her first win.

On Sunday, Dec 10 in London, England: Shanee, Martin 7-1 (4) vs TBA in a Junior Bantam bout.

For some reason, the Jamie McGrath - Eileen Olszewski bout is no longer listed on Friday's card in Huntington Station, New York.
