ALBUQUERQUE
(March 27, 2008) – The two best female boxers in the world,
Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm and Mary Jo Sanders,
headline the June 13th “Finally” pay-per-view event (10 PM/ET-8
PM/MT) – the greatest collection of women fighters on one show
in history – live from Isleta Casino & Resort in Albuquerque,
New Mexico.
The Fresquez Productions, Inc.-promoted “Finally,” produced and
distributed by Integrated Sports, will be available for live
viewing on cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN
and DirecTV for a suggested retail price of only $24.95.
Albuquerque favorite Holm (21-1-2, 6 KOs), recognized as the No.
1 welterweight in the world, takes on the world’s No. 1
middleweight, Detroit icon Sanders (25-0, 8 KOs), in the 10
round main event for the vacant International Female Boxers
Association (IFBA) junior middleweight title.
“Holly and Mary Jo are fighting for the right to be called the
top pound-for-pound female fighter in the world today,” promoter
Lenny Fresquez said. “This show is the all-time best ever for
female boxing with five No. 1 fighters, based on independent
rating groups, starting with Holly and Mary Jo, along with the
No. 1 featherweight (Jeannine Garside), junior lightweight (Chevelle
Hallback, and strawweight (Careno Moreno). Add a pair of No. 2
rated fighters (flyweight Eillen Olszewski) and (junior
flyweight Hollie Dunaway), plus a No. 3 (junior flyweight Wendy
Rodriguez); ‘Finally’ is featuring eight fighters - all rated
among the world’s top 3 - in four world title fights shown
worldwide on pay-per-view.”
The most punishing, action-packed fight could turn out to be the
10-round co-feature for the IFBA lightweight title between WIBA
& IBA junior lightweight title-holder Chevelle “Fists of Steel”
Hallback (26-5-2, 11 KOs), fighting out of Tampa (FL), and WIBA
featherweight champion Jeannine “G9” Garside (7-0-1, 3 KOs), of
Ontario (Canada).
IBA junior featherweight champion Wendy Rodriguez (18-4, 3 KOs),
of Los Angeles, faces WIBF-GBU/WIBC minimumweight title-holder
Hollie “Hot Stuff” Dunaway (21-6, 10 KOs), from (Van Buren)
Arkansas, in a 10-round strawweight title fight.
WBC 2007 Fighter of the Year, WBC mininumweight champ Carina “La
Reina” Moreno (17-1, 5 KOs), of Watsonville (CA), squares-off
against newly crowned WIBA flyweight title-holder Eileen “The
Hawaiian Mongoose” Olszewski (5-0), fighting out of New York
