Teresa Perozzi vs Lorissa Rivas – The Fight in 60 seconds (Dec 30, 2011)

January 2, 2012 Published by

“In the main bout Teresa Perozzi, with the south pole stance, took the attack to Lorissa Ribas from the first round. Ribas weathered the slight storm and launched an effective counter attack. It was a battle of attrition as each fighter sought to gain the advantage. The action heated up in the eighth round and got a little rougher than usually as Ribas attempted to free herself up. In the following round Perozzi got the better of Ribas backing up the local (Trinidadian) fighter. The referee, as he had done on many occasions, stepped in to separate the fighters. In the ninth round both fighters showed signs of tiring though the contest went all the way down to the wire and it was up to the judges to decide the winner. The scorecards announced went 96-94 in favour of Ribas, 95-96 in favour of Perosi and the third judge scored the bout 94-97 in favour of Perozzi giving her victory by a split decision.”

Teresa Perozzi, arguably the best female Bermudian boxer of all time, fought against 20-year old Christina Hammer for the WBO female middleweight world title on Saturday, October 23rd, 2010 in Riesa, Germany.

In the early rounds Perozzi dictated the high pace of the match and put Hammer under pressure. The young German was able nonetheless to keep cool and counter attack. The opening rounds were even.

The fifth round saw the turning point of the 10 round bout as Hammer got in a number of clear shots which started to slow Perozzi down and the German began to dominate the fight. However the fighter from Bermuda was dangerous every minute. The fight ended with a unanimous win on points for Christina Hammer – the new WBO champion and the youngest German boxing world champion ever. (Translated from http://www.boxen1.com)
