Chamblin vs. Velez

[jr]

In My Opinion:

“On November 24, 2007, at the Paragon Casino & Resort, in Marksville, Louisiana, there will be two women’s bouts on the card. In an IBA super bantamweight world title bout, Kasha "The Fighting Marine" Chamblin, 10-1-0 (5KO), of Lafayette, Louisiana, will be fighting Ada “The Ace” Velez, 15-3-0 (6KO), of Hollywood, Florida.”

Team Chamblin learned that if you fight at home, you will likely win.

If you fight at your opponent’s venue, you might lose. Chamblin lost by TKO to Ina Mezner in Berlin last December.

Chamblin’s last fight against Donna Biggers was scored as an 80-72 shutout, an example of inflated hometown scoring.

So Ada Velez from Florida has only one chance of winning this fight, by stopping her opponent. Anything less is a win for Chamblin.

Menzer was a much better fighter than Chamblin had faced before, wherever they fought. Biggers had never beaten anyone rankable by WBAN, she is and was unranked. Those results had more to do with the boxers abilities than with venues. Biggers herself said Chamblin was "better than she anticipated". I think you can figure that one out

And Biggers also said she won two or three rounds against Chamblin.

Velez won by a UD, shooting down JR's latest conspiracy theory.

Velez was ranked #3 in the world by WBAN, while Chamblin was unranked, so the result is NOT a surprise.
