After a massive media buildup, the "Finally" PPV bill at the Isleta Casino in Albuquerque, NM was fought last night amid great fanfare for Women's Boxing.

In the main event, IFBA Light Middleweight Champ Holly Holm, 22-1-2 (6), proved just too big and skilled for challenger Mary Joe Sanders, 25-1 (8), as Holm won nearly every round to hand Sanders her first loss.

Wendy Rodriguez, 19-4-3 (3), won the vacant IFBA and IBA titles at minimumweight with a ten round split decision over Hollie Dunaway, 21-7 (10), in a rematch between the two.

Carina Moreno, 18-1 (5), defeated Eileen Olszewski, 5-1-1 (0), over ten rounds for the vacant IFBA Light Flyweight strap and Chevelle Hallback, 27-5-2 (11), outpointed Jeannine Garside, 7-1-1 (3), to cage the vacant IFBA Lightweight crown.

The greatest collection of women boxers on one show, including five independently No. 1 rated fighters, are scheduled to battle this Friday night, June 13, in four world title bouts for five different belts on the “Finally” pay-per-view show, promoted by Fresquez Productions, Inc., airing live at 10 PM/ET-8 PM/MT from Isleta Casino and Resort in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

If you asked who was the most skilled fighter in women's boxing, the name Lucia Rijker would have been the first that came to the mind of most. Rijker, known as "The Dutch Destroyer", was as skilled in the ring as any man and her power was equally impressive.

Aside from the two names mentioned above, chances are that most would have drawn nothing but blanks when discussing the ladies of the ring.

It was not until Layla Ali, the daughter of "The Greatest", Muhammad Ali, entered the game that women's boxing seemed to skyrocket into the attention of the mainstream media. Of course, anything attached to the name "Ali" will garner attention, so as Layla began to win more fights, we began to see more focus towards female pugilists as a whole. Once the flood gates opened, so did the talent pool.

Names like Vonda Ward, Mary Jo Sanders, Layla McCarter and Holly Holm emerged and began to become mainstays on the sports news pages. As these fighters began to receive more exposure, people began to take more of an interest in women's boxing. More...
