International lightweight champ Delfine Persoon (Belgium) successfully defended her WBC title today. She defeated Australian boxer Diana Prazak with technical knock out.

Persoon left, Prazak right.

Persoon currently holds 5 titles : EBU, IBF, WIBA, WIBF, WBC. Out of 32 matches she won 31 and lost 1. She is currently the best international female lightweight boxer.

As there's no money in female boxing in Belgium (or internationally, it seems) Persoon holds a daytime job as a police officer in railway stations and on trains. She works full time and does boxing on the side.

EDIT : I just read an interview with Persoon and she said that tomorrow she's expected to help clean up the venue where the fight took place (!!!!!!!!!!) We're talking about the world champ here ... Also, she is expected back at work the day after tomorrow (she took up leave saved up by doing overtime). She does as many extra hours as possible on normal day shifts so she can save up for two weeks off leading up to a match in which she can properly prepare (next to her regular training schedule). Christ, give these female boxers some money already cuz this shit is just painful.

It is her dream to fight a world title match in the States.

Klitschko vs. Pulev coming Saturday.

What are the chances Manny vs Flyod actually happens May the Second?

I don't think Mayweather-Pacquiao happens, honestly.

I hope I'm wrong. But I think Floyd sees Pacman as too much of a threat and he doesn't wanna take the chance of losing his undefeated record.

Floyd would fight Amir Khan before Pacquiao.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao on May 2nd!!!!

FINALLY...

Mayweather is a solid favorite but Pacquiao is live.
