New York’s rising female boxing star Keisher “Fire” McLeod-Wells, continued her winning ways by dominating the tough Panamanian Abigail Billar at the IBF Convention in Panama City, Panama.
Abigail Billar was considered to be a stern test for the undefeated “Fire” as her sole defeat was through retirement because of injury.
McLeod-Wells was able to establish her jab early, utilizing her height and reach advantage over the shorter Billar.
Billar from Panama tried to press the action in round one and seemed to have some success but the taller McLeod-Wells was able stay out of trouble and picked off Billar each time she attempted to get on the inside.
McLeod-Wells, a former decorated amateur boxer, was able to land her signature jab and right hand throughout the bout and was never really in trouble from Billar.
McLeod-Wells’ trainer, the former two-time World Champion Mark Breland, said, “I thought she boxed well. She stuck to the game plan and fought a good fight”.
Optimum Sports Agency’s Keisher McLeod-Wells looks to be back in action in the US in June.
