On Saturday, June
10th, 2006, at the Isleta Casino & Resort, Isleta, NM, Junior
Welterweight Womens IBA World Champion Holly Holm, 13-1-2 5 KOs,
Albuquerque, NM, moves up a weight class to face former WIBF
Light Welterweight World Champion and current Jr. middleweight
contender Lisa Holewyne, 25-18-2 8 Kos, Austin, TX, for
the WBA Women's Welterweight Championship of the World.
Holewyne has faced the best in the world from Light Welterweight
to Middleweight and will be the largest opponent that Holm has
faced to date.
In a recent interview
Holm stated "Lisa is a bigger opponent, she's walking
around much heavier than I am right now, her footwork and
punches may not be as fast as mine but she is very strong and a
big opponent for me. I plan on going all rounds, I know she is
tough so I plan on going in there in better shape."
The under card will feature the return of Junior Welterweight
"Hurricane" Hector Munoz 14-1 8 KOs, Albuquerque, NM who will
square off against Francisco Rios Gil 5-3 4 KOs, of Phoenix, AZ
in an 8 round Welterweight affair.
In March Munoz defeated Welterweight prospect Omar Davila 15-5 6
KOs, with an 8 round split decision at La Villita in San
Antonio, TX . The bout was a good win for Munoz who has been on
a 7 fight winning streak since his first defeat.
The always entertaining Jose "Goose" Ramirez, 10-9 6 KOs,
Albuquerque, NM makes his return to the ring after a 2 year
layoff to face Derek Andrews, 5-2 1 KO, Lewisville, TX in
a 6 round Light Heavyweight bout.
Dale McCartey, 3-3 1 KO, Albuquerque, NM, fresh off of a
3rd round knockout over Jacob Romero, faces Albuquerque prospect
Julio Chavez, 5-1 2 KOs, in a 6 round rematch. Their first bout
was a war that saw Chavez come out with a unanimous decision.
Amateur sensation Sarah Perches Albuquerque, NM makes her
professional debut against Marqueza Cardoza Denver, CO who makes
her professional debut as well.
