It was a fantastic show. Once again Gary D u did a great job.
ReplyDeleteYes, great show and thanks Gary. On another note, I want a rematch...at my weight.165 not 180 which I didn't agree to.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think about how my previous message must have sound. This weight issue was do to miscommunication between Hollon and myself and as we had agreed to meet at a lower weight. We were within the 8 lb weight differential, but I would like to fight at my natural weight. Sorry for any confusion as there was no ill intent involved.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first all female fight. I was visiting from the Raleigh-Durham area and we would love to bring Ms. Bruce and some of the female boxers here. 2010 will be history making for women in sports.
ReplyDeleteGreat to clear up any misunderstandings Cara because I've had my girl on the show twice and have never had a problem. Wanda and Cha are doing the best they can and although I know them personally, I know that Wanda does the best she can to match up all bouts fairly. Great fight Cara!
ReplyDeleteT. Douglas was the best boxer on the show, she has always been a fabulous boxer. Good luck in the future and even though u are boxing out of baltimore now ur still loved here in D.C.
