From Russia to London I am suprised at some of the things I see. Now suprisingly I am not complaining, I more like disturbed at what I see.

First Esther Schouten is the top 10 Boxrec returns to the ring to fight Maribel Santanna, now all of Maribel wins came from people fighting with less than 5 wins.
Here is Maribel's record:

Esther Schouten needs to realize the same thing that HollyHolm and others found out which that it pays mentally to fight a good, profesional, tough opponent. Nothing against Maribel, she probably is okay but interesting fights make history not blisters. There are many great boxers but very few great fights.

You've got to do better than that. Maribel has nearly 20 pro fights, has been active and winning, and has faced fome VERY good fighters (Acuna, Weikenmeister). Esther is coming back from an illness, as you know. Maribel was a legitimate opponent for her at this time.

she was sick, I didn't know that whoops my bad..
Because she was sick, I agree Maribel was a good choice, but Rick she hasn't won any real legitmate fights man sorry..no she hasn't she has won fights against people who are extremely inexperience fighters.

Yes, she did lose her biggest fights to Missy Fiorentino in New England and an Aussie down in Oz. She has three comeback wins now, and hopefully she is working up for a big fight. I know for a fact that she wants one! I wish her luck. Esther is a classy woman.
