That was the fight of Regina Halmich (Germany) VS Csicsely Szilvia (Hungary)! Good fight I think. But not Muay Thai boxer style for sure. Regina pushes too much! It’s really unusual for female fighters to use as many body punches as she chose to do.

She has helped popularized female boxing in Europe, just like Deirdre Gogarty from Ireland and Michelle Sutcliffe from England and others. However Regina is really a goddess in boxing career. Regina was German champion in 1992-1994 and earned the European title in 1994. This hot robotic female fighter announced her retirement last year in her farewell fight on November 30, 2007 with WIBF Women’s International Boxing Federation flyweight title. She did end her boxing career like pro by defeating Hagar Shmoulefeld Finer from Israel by decision.

Regina’s record: won 54 (KO 16) + lost 1 (KO 1) + drawn 1 = 56

Although women fought professionally in lots of countries and lots of them are GREAT, women’s boxing will not be at the Olympics on 08/08/08 in China this year. And it’s very unlikely to become an official Olympic sport at the next Olympic Games in 2012.

Female boxing are not bad as some people think. But it might just have different styles. And of course they use different regulation. It’s not that different. Just like when you see female tennis. I really hope boxing association will one day give the girls a chance to do their things to prove to the whole world that they deserve to professionally and openly box and female boxing can create great attention from people around the world just like male boxing.

Mijares, a Mexican pro fighter, now owns both WBC super flyweight title and the WBA title by beating WBA champion, Alexander Muñoz at Auditorio Centenario, Durango, Maxico on May 17th. The split decisions were from Judge Burt Clements 116-111, Judge Marty Sammom 116-112 and Judge Gustavo Padilla 113-115.

So his record right now is…won 35 (KO 14) + lost 3 + drawn 2 = 40

What he said after the match was he thought it was a great match, he couldn’t explain how he felt, Alexander Muñoz (won 32 (KO 27, quite number) + lost 3 = 35) was the admirable opponent, and he was proud of what he did and would have to try harder. And he claimed that he almost lost twice in that match. However he finally won.

His earlier fight this year was in Las Vegas. He won over Jose Navarro via split decision also.

For Alexander Muñoz, he wasn’t easy to beat. He received WBA super flyweight title by beating a Japanese boxer, Nobuo Nashiro in Japan in May last year. He also won two other fights after that in Japan until he met Mijares.

Comparing to those two he won over, Mijares has more experiences in the ring. But he’s still young in the game. I believe he can improve more. His future’s still awaiting. We’ll have to wait and see how far this fighter can go.
