FEMFIGHT EUROPE.

Susie McDonald is one of those girls who little was known about,though many believe she did appear a number of times under another name(Emma McKenzie). Her opponent here is Tina Starr a lovely blonde who had a great following. It's interesting that many of these bouts are available through ASFilm de on line or DVD format.

A great favourite during the 80's was Jodie Lee star of the BWA Promotions.Originally from Bury in Lancashire she even rose to have her own column in the Swish Publication,Fighting Girls Monthly. Her opponent was the six foot tall Julie Fielding who made her debut in the BWA while still doing exams.Many will remember her appearing on the regional tv show Granada Reports in 1984.Sadly she departed the scene after only twelve months.

Many promotions boast having twins on their rota,though often twin is only in the name and often the girls aren't even sisters. In this case the girls are for real,the Blossom Twins are Lucy and Kelly Knot known as Hanna and Holly Blossom from Stockport,both I believe retired in 2013. Opponents the Owen Twins are Leah and Kasey,Kelly and Leigh Robinson from Belfast.

Another bout from Karlsruh saw two more novices in the ring.Germany's Verena Kaiser clocked up her second win out of two against Vany Lkic

WBO Middle Weight Champ Christina Hammer puts her title on the line at the Sparkassen Arena,Dessau,Thüringen,Germany. Her opponent is Kali Reis a twenty nine years old American with only three wins,a draw and three losses on her record.

My thanks to Nadine in Germany for keeping us up to date with action from the spiritual home of womens boxing in Karlsruh. The girls may be novices but they come to fight,Kallia Kourouni clocks up her third win in her adopted homeland having been born in Athens Greece. Her opponent Maja Milenkovik is a twenty two year old from Serbia clocking another loss.

Fans who are slightly older may well remember a time gone by when Golden Girls were almost as good as it got on the female wrestling scene. Looking at them now you have to think almost all the girls were ones who had failed to get a part in Baywatch.

Double the action from Manchester,these bouts were probably before Pippa moved to her new venue. Sweden's Jenny Sjodin in action against Lucy Claydon originally from Kent.

Two willing girls entertain their rather strangely attired friends.

I have to admit to my liking for those DWW efforts in that field and one of the best for me was"The Meeting".

This is another of those which brings home the point that it's not just a man thing to watch girls fight.
