Women's Boxing: The Top-Online 24-7 latest news on BOXING! Updated Throughout the day!
Description
In 1996, after virtually being out of boxing for nearly 17 years, I decided to get back into shape to fulfill a goal to run in the "Race for the Cure" --- a benefit to raise funds for Breast Cancer research, in Portland, Oregon. I ran this race not only to raise money, but to celebrate surviving a different kind of bout, not boxing, but with breast cancer. This year, I am celebrating a decade of beating this dread disease.
I knew that the best way to get in shape for that would be to train in boxing. I found a gym in Portland, called University Park. When I first started training in the gym, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the trainer, Lee Jenkins, had actually seen me fight in Portland in the 70's. As I began to train, I started to get to know the other students. One day, one of the guys made a comment about Christy Martin, and that she was a great fighter, and he went on to tell me about her fight against Deirdre Gogarty on the Tyson card.
I was not on the Internet at the time, so I signed up with an internet provider, and began my journey into surfing the net to find out what WAS on the net about women's boxing. I was shocked and dismayed to find that there was virtually NOTHING on the net about any of the women boxers in the 70's & 80's.
