[ Music, ] hello, there boxing fans around the world thanks for joining us once again here on friday for knuckle up and it’s female friday featuring my quarter of four and my core’s got a great girl from down under lined up.
Yes, are you ready to go you’re ready to give it to us yeah, i’m i’m ready, i’m ready.
As i can be to be honest here we go karen t, that’s right.
You heard it three and two one ko she’s lost by a knockout.
She is from new zealand she’s, ranked second in the welter division in new zealand, and she is sorry australia.
Am i right new zealand, new zealand.
Sorry, sorry, i almost messed that up she’s in new zealand, she is from new zealand.
She’S in new zealand resides in auckland, new zealand, yes she’s ranked second before in new zealand in the wealthy division, 13 out of 60 in the world, so she’s climbing that uh she’s climbing into that top ten, okay and uh.
We all know that that top ten is a big uh.
You know it’s a big talent there in that top 10.
.
So i’m super excited to see this man um.
She originally had a massive opportunity to fight at eden park on new zealand’s largest outdoor stadium.
However, the event got canceled, with no sign of the event due to the delta varian outbreak in new zealand um, you know restarting again uh.
She is well known in the boxing community for being tough, especially with her career of being in the royal new zealand navy.
As an officer, so this could talk about a girl.
Who’S got some some uh, some, you know strength in her man.
This girl, you know in in the navy and now she’s in the boxing ring man and the good thing about it is.
Is she currently has a record of three and two right, which is not bad, but she made her professional boxing debut in november of 2018 after having a background in corporate boxing, so she took on tony moca winning the fight by stoppage.
Her next fight was a massive risk when she took on former new zealand champion, former wba oceana oceana champion and former wiba world champion.
Uh luffy in october of 2019 libby had not fought in three years before that fight, but she returned with a uh, grossly split decision win to loopy uh karen made her in ring return to take on the first new zealand female uh with an and bf australian Title tenure read now guys when you go watch this fight man.
This is a great fight between the two of them uh.
You know right back back and forth man.
She comes forward.
She ain’t afraid to take handspan, she gets it, but she really dishes it out.
Man, she’s really heavy-handed.
I know reid had to step up in a weight class to take on that uh to take her on man but uh.
It was a great fight and honestly guys you can easily find it on youtube.
You’Re going to want to see it now, she’s got this fight coming up, um against brook brook cooper and uh.
This win, if she comes through with this win, is gon na put her in to that top 10 in that welter.
Division, which means we’re gon na, get to see her internationally soon and that’s gon na be great, but she’s got a lot of competition.
Man moving into that uh, you know into that top 10 area there right, because you know we got uh, we got chevelle hall back, we got um candy watt, we got uh victoria bustos and we got jessica mccaskill heading up the top of that.
So she’s going to be moving in to that division, which is going to be um.
You know a pretty a pretty hard transition.
I think but uh you know with the right perseverance and the right coaching.
I think she can get it done.
Man uh! Graham, i don’t know if you’ve seen this girl fight at all.
I had never heard of her until today.
Really oh, it’s unfortunate man so uh, i guess the only boxers from new zealand who’s.
The woman who i know is miyamoto yes, okay! Well, there you go uh.
Well, i’m bringing you another one to watch man, definitely uh.
You know she’s um, she she’s a great fighter.
Man she’s got great strength in those hands.
Uh she’s, really um, good and elusive man.
To be honest, uh me and cedric were discussing her fight style uh.
She definitely is a banger and a brawler uh.
Just like bmo2, you know one of those styles.
They just come out and uh they bring it man they break, they bring it, they bring their a game and they uh they’re, not here to do overtime.
Man as uh the guys like to say it she’s in there and she’s trying to get it done.
I can’t wait to see her fight, uh brooke cooper, it’s gon na be a good fight.
