Since the advent of Fighting Dolls a new breed as been created and become regulars,two of these are Anastasia and Mel who have been around so long now it's even given time for one to retire and make a comeback.
I have mentioned before the fans who booked their holidays in order to watch the girls wrestling at that holiday camp in Cleethorpes.I should also mention those who booked for the family to go to Rhyl so as to see the girls in action at that little theatre on the sea front where Orig Williams promoted. Some fans were luckier and lived close to the Welsh border and could get the Welsh language tv channel which featured bouts like this under the title Reslo. The"bad girl"in many of these shows was the late Paula Valdez who always gave value for money.I had to admire how Orig always got plenty youngsters to his shows so that the bad guys/girls got plenty boo's. Paula's opponent for this show was the teenage Tracy Kemp and didn't she look the part,just look at the pictures.
The world of women's boxing often leaves questions unanswered,this one,what happened to Cecilia Comunles? This was the start of a winning run of five fights as the holder of the WBO Lightweight Title.Her last fight was in July of 2013 and then nothing!!!
A very young looking"Jeff the Ref"is the man in charge and Manuela is far too aggressive for her opponent Jamila. What a lovely sight Manuela was when she bared her breasts for Festelle Video in London and just look at the amount of Jamila's dark bush that makes an appearance toward the end.
Many fans of ladies combat would love to see their wives in the ring,but what if the fantasy became a reality? For one guy it happened on the 1st of November Jimmy Ibbott's wife Claire took part in the charity"Pink Collar Boxing"at the Preston North End Stadium,Preston,Lancashire,he was so proud he even put her on YouTube.
Another of those match ups that happen the world over,Kallia Kouroni is a world champion kick boxer from Greece and is only twenty six years old,matched against Hungary's Dora Farkas whose record shows three fights and three losses at the age of thirty eight. I often wonder if you are Hungarian and a bit short of ready cash do you put your wife in the boxing ring no matter what her age?
Another victory on home ground for Caroline Schroeder in Karlsruhe her adopted home.Since the days of Regina Halmich Karlsruhe as become home to a number of female boxers,possibly because the crowds there have really taken to the girls. 31 years old Caroline showed some good punching skills to dispose of Elke Beinwachs the 30 year old from Austria,a girl with a poor record of only three wins and two draws on the plus side.
Camp Amazon had many lovely girls and one of it's best fighters was Karen Arnold,why?Possibly her willingness to both wrestle and box made her a favourite.
Recent times have seen the girls really come to the fore with fantastic action taking place as far apart as Scotland and this Bellatrix Promotion from August this year,the quarter final of Queen of the Ring. Opening bout sees veteran tough girl Sweet Saray Knight take on the girl from North Carolina USA Bacardi. Next bout sees Lady Lori from Germany but now resident in Belgium in action against one of Sweet Saraya's proteges Penelope. Third up comes the late replacement Amy Lee Kramer daughter of veteran Karl Kramer and subject of of a documentary on BBC3"Wrestling with Motherhood"the story of how she became pregnant at 16 and her wrestling career.Her opponent the 4'11" blonde Erin Angel from Southampton. And the final decider sees the screamer from Hastings Skarlett take on another fairly local girl from Norwich Liberty. With the action taking place on a fairly regular basis the Epic Studios Norwich is another venue for ...
