I-NEW YORK (March 22, 2023) – Multiple world champion Kathy “Wildcat” Collins (14-2-4, 3 Kos) will become the first female boxer inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

”It’s a tremendous honor to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame,” said Collins (married name Globuschutz). “This is my fourth induction into Halls of Fame, which is special to me since I also held four world titles.

“In 1995, I was part of the first class of women ever allowed to box in the fabled Daily News Golden Gloves. A year later, the first women’s fight televised on the USA Tuesday night boxing series from the Paramount at Madison Square Garden, which culminated in the highest female purses at the time from Madison Square Garden as a co-featured bout on a major pay-per-view for Don King. These were major accomplishments in women’s boxing. It helped paved the way for women today, some coming out of the Olympics, selling out The Garden and working towards equal pay with seven-figure pay days.”

Collins’ second professional fight was a six-round decision over Andrea DeShong in 1996, which brought pro women’s boxing to the famed Madison Square Garden and regular cable television.

In 1997, Kathy captured the IFBA welterweight title and added the IWBF junior welterweight crown later that same year, ke, she dropped down to the lightweight division to successfully challenge for the IWBF championship. Collins became the first fighter to simultaneously own world titles in the WIBF, IFBA, and IWBF.

Kathy Collins is a true pioneer in women’s boxing. Manje, she’ll be honored at home in New York by her induction into the NYSBHOF.

“In 30 Eminyakeni,” she concluded, “we’ve come a long way baby! It is truly an honor to be recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and to be recognized and included in in a tremendously talented, successful class of inductees, and being around so many of my friends and colleagues that helped me break ceilings along the way.”

“Kathy Collins is a great asset for the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame as our first female boxer inductee,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy commented. “Her induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame is an extension of her career as a pioneer of women’s boxing.

UPrograis ushaye phansi uDiaz ekuqaleni 30 imizuzwana yesibili ekushintshaneni okubonakala kuwumphumela wokushayisana kwezinyawo. Kungakhathaliseki, U-Prograis uhogele igazi wase egadla kuDiaz, ukumfaka phansi futhi ngesobunxele esiqondile phakathi nomjikelezo.

Umhlali waseHouston, owasuka eNew Orleans ngemva kweSiphepho uKatrina, waphinda wawisa uDiaz nje 15 imizuzwana kamuva nesokunxele esiqondile. Ukuwisa okwesine nokugcina, ngezilokotho ihuku kwesokunxele, uthumele uDiaz (23-1, 19 Kos) ukuhlehla futhi kwanele ukuthi unompempe u-Mark Nelson amise umdlalo sekusele imizuzwana nje ukuthi iwashi liphele..

Kwakuyisitatimende esiqinisekisayo sikaPrograis, abafika 62 iphesenti lokudutshulwa kwakhe kwamandla esivivinyweni esinzima kunazo zonke somsebenzi wakhe.

"Tonight Ngafakaza ukuthi ngiphumelele ShoBox,” kusho uPrograis. “Ngisilungele isigaba esikhulu. Ngiwulungele umbukiso omkhulu. Ngifuna ukulwa kangcono kunabo bonke esigabeni.

“Bekumele ngisebenzise i-jab yami kancane ukumwisa kodwa ngaphuma ngishwiba.”

Ithemba le-Super middleweight uSteve Rolls ukwazile ukulondoloza irekhodi lakhe lokungahluliwe enqoba isinqumo sokushibilika kwemizuliswano eyisishiyagalombili ehlula u-Demond Nicholson 77-75 Nicholson, 77-74 Rolls, 77-74 Rolls.

Waphuma ehlasela eshanela owesibili, kodwa impi ibonakale ishintsha indlela okwesithathu lapho uNicholson elimaza uRolls ngomzuzu wokugcina ngesibhakela sakhe sokuqala esibalulekile empini..

Nicholson (17-2-1, 16 Kos) wathwala umfutho wokushanela owesine, but the remaining four rounds featured back-and-forth action and were difficult to score. Rolls (16-0, 9 Kos) was the slightly busier fighter, yokuxhuma ku 412 total punches compared to 390 phezu emahlandla eziyisishiyagalombili, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 in total connects.

ShoBox announcers Tompkins, Farhood and Raul Marquez all had Nicholson winning the final six rounds and edging Rolls 77-74 on their unofficial scorecards.

“What made the difference for me tonight was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,” Rolls said. “I came in to this fight having no doubts. Nicholson was talking beforehand about my last fight, he was talking about my footwork, and I knew he was going to be in for a big surprise. I adapt for each fight.

“I knew I had him from the first round. My corner calmed me down and told me to take my time.”

Nicholson, who has mostly competed at 160 amakhilogremu, akavumelananga nesinqumo samajaji.

“Ngeke ngibeke izaba. Wayinqoba impi,” kusho uNicholson. “Yilokho amajaji akubonile, kodwa angivumi. Ungizwise ubuhlungu ngesiwombe sokuqala. Wangishaya kabuhlungu ekhanda. Ngaba nesiyezi kodwa ngalulama ngaqhubeka. Ngicabanga ukuthi ngenze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu kodwa ngokusobala akwanele.

“Angikwazi ukulwa 160 – Ngiwu-168-pounder. Ukulwa kuleso sisindo kwangiqeda amandla. Bengingekho ezingeni lami eliphezulu.”

In the iziqubu ukuvulwa telecast, uJon Fernandez ongahluliwe we-lightweight ushaye i-knockout ka-Juan Reyes2:36 of the round yesibili.

UFernandez unyathele igesi esuka ensimbi yokuvula, kusetshenziswa umsebenzi osezingeni eliphezulu nokunemba ukuhlukanisa umdlalo kodwa amaReyes awadlulanga. Laba babili bahlangane ukuze baphonse 240 punches in the opening stanza but Fernandez landed his right at will and was clearly the more effective fighter.

The Sergio Martinez protégé had a bloodied Reyes hurt in the opening minute of the second and closed the show in the final minute with a sharp right to the ear that sent Reyes (14-4-3, 2 Kos) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.

The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 Kos) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 Amaphesenti angu punches zakhe inani.

“The one-two, one-two was the key to opening the door,” Fernandez said. “The straight right hand is one of my best punches and I caught Reyes in the perfect spot. I hope he is OK. I feel that I am ready for the next level. I’ll fight wherever there is an opportunity, but I believe the big fights are here in the U.S.”

Reyes was responsive but taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
