BXF Hosts All-Female Card on February 10!

Friday, February 10 will be an interesting night of Boxing Along the Beltway. BXF will host an all-female boxing card.

Information about this card says that this will be the first all-female card held in the state of Maryland. I can't verify that, but I can say that this will be the first all-female card held along the Beltway since May 30, 2004, when there was an all-female show held at DC Tunnel.

That card did not have any local boxers, but it did have notable names including Melissa "Honey Girl" Del Valle and Aasa Sandell, a Swedish boxer who made her pro debut on that card and last month fought Laila Ali in Berlin, Germany.

The BXF card will have some local talent including Cambridge, MD's Angel "Saumnice" McNamara. The card is also scheduled to feature the pro debut of DC's Dominique Rice.

What is ironic, at least to me, is that some of the proceeds will benefit the House of Ruth, a shelter that helps victims of domestic violence. Women hitting each other to support battered women. Fascinating.

Anyway, hopefully this show will do very well. I'll bring you more information when it comes available.
