It’S it’s mika crabs, not makaya.
It’S it’s either mika or makaya craps.
It is krepso.
I know that much, i’m not good at the pronunciation here, but let me tell you about this girl who is now signed with uh bella entertainment, she’s 3-0 in her professional career, 2kos she’s abandoned weight, so 118 pounds she’s only 25.
uh 5’3 she’s managed by jerry Uh cesares and you know what she’s ranked 7 out of 16 right now in the united states and 83 out of 160 in the world and she’s coming off a fight against kendra bradley back in the 13th like a month ago, man literally just over a month Ago, guys, last month, on the 13th 2022 uh, this girl is niagara, falls new york, native and wow.
Let’S, let’s talk about it.
Let’S break her down.
Man, uh niagara falls native uh.
That’S you know right by the niagara.
Canadian niagara falls border too.
So i’m assuming she probably got a few amateur fights and uh you know fights in general pro.
Maybe some pro fights in niagara falls too uh yeah her lot her last one.
Yes, oh, was it her last one was in canada and that’s what was actually her.
Last one, her last fight was actually her home pro debut uh seneca, nag resort and casino in niagara falls, and she won that by a tko in the fourth round, and it was scheduled for six two minute rounds in that boat and now that was her third Fight man, uh she’s, you know knocked out two of her opponents gone the distance.
Once and honestly she comes from a long lineage of boxers man uh.
I like watching this girl in the ring man, she’s very calm, very calm, uh.
You know really really takes time to place your shots, but uh.
You can definitely smell smell that blood man like a shark and when she does, she gets right in there on the inside and wreaks havoc on that body and uh.
Just is relentless with the punching et cetera, that’s pretty like yeah.
She likes to mix it up.
She likes to stand the inside.
It’S like she wants to uh uh um own.
She wants to own the center of the ring.
Uh wants to own that real estate.
As they stay yeah you come inside of her her house, she’s fighting you to get out so um definitely has a pro style.
Um crowd, pleasing pro style; she’s, definitely not gon na be, as they say, running anywhere.
She’S gon na be standing right in front of you.
Oh as she lands a bomb on this russian girl, uh yeah, yeah, yeah she’s he’s a little tasmanian double with that.
With the punches definitely definitely she is man um.
So here’s the thing her trainer is her mother, yeah, so uh.
Here it is man, father and son.
Combinations are very a very common place in sweet science, but mother daughter, not so much uh, makaya kreps.
You know, while her olympic odyssey ended in disappointment, she was ready to become the latest female boxer to make a splash in the professional ranks which she is doing right now.
Her mother was a fighter and she was just around the gym at a very young age.
So her mother, deborah fields, craps, was around 30 years of age.
When she put on her first pair of gloves a career nurse, she looked uh to boxing’s as a mean to get in trouble time out.
She was 30 years old before she started her mother.
Her mother mom was 30.
.
Yes, this girl’s only 25.
.
Oh yes, that’s right! You did it so her mother, her mother, was 30 years when she put on her first pair of gloves a career nurse.
She looked at boxing as a means to just stay in shape.
Right, like most women, do and then they get bit by that bug.
Instead, it turned into a natural desire once which led to the nickname, her alias the knockout nurse crepts to three golden glove titles, three empire state games championships and then inspiring her daughter along her journey to box herself.
However, if you think that is where the pugilism started in this family think again, boxing has been in the family blood for generations.
However, her her grandfather, frankie egan, was a pro fighter and in a six year career spanning from 1933 to 1939, the welterweight posted a record of 39 and five with six knockouts egan also fought uh remo fernandez.
Three times fernandez eventually went on to fight, then undefeated future world champion ezra charles uh, losing a sixth round unanimous situation back in april of 1940.
um whoa and he just cuts out um anyways.
Let me continue on with uh makaya kreps here, as i was saying before um she definitely likes to mix it up.
She likes to stay in the center of the ring.
She does have good good boxing skills.
You know you don’t make you don’t make your your! Your national team, um, you know just by accident, she was on t mio, say she competed at the at the world level at the international level um and she did well.
I don’t know about the exact results.
That’S what my man mike is for to to to bring the stats um but yeah mckay, kreps, very good, very good boxer, three-and-oh right now, um, so undefeated, i’m not sure when her next scheduled uh match is um, but yeah man she’s looking good so far, yeah It looks like his computer must have died, but it’s all right, though.
That’S what i’m here to pick up pick up the uh to pick it up where we kind of left off but anyways, like i said, makaya kreps um.
I forget what he’s what he said.
Her nickname was the nightmare, the nightmare nurse was it makaya, the nightmare nurse crips, maybe anyways um yeah man.
If you haven’t seen her fight, yet you definitely will uh.
You know, definitely will not.
She would not put you to sleep.
She’S action-packed, i’m always looking to bring the hard punches and yeah there.
You have it every day at four, my boy mike wore myself, bringing you the new new and upcoming.
Oh yo, i’m sorry guys! Sorry! I just had technical difficulties.
My laptop just died.
All of a sudden, i guess i guess this girl’s, a hot topic: ma’am a computer couldn’t handle it.
Yes, you you, you handled it very very well.
I could still listen and hear you that you were you opened it up here.
But yes, where were we when i, when i, when i left off here? Oh her mother? Yes, yeah uh, you know uh, like i said man, mother-daughter combinations are not one of those, those big things, man uh i’ve.
Never i don’t know uh i mean i’m sure.
It’S maybe happened before, but um this.
That would be crazy if they, if they can work their way up to uh to a world championship and be uh the first i mean i guess it might not be the first, but her mother never went pro okay, her mother retired never went pro no, but I’M just saying just in general having a mother train their daughter into a world championship.
I don’t know.
If that’s ever happened, i don’t think it has ever happened.
Um you know makaya the youngest man.
She was five when she first joined her mom at the gym.
She was nine when she first climbed through the ropes to fight and beat another girl um.
She was like a little bull coming forward, uh, you know and there’s tape of this man, but it’s all on vhs, and you know it’s a it’s one of those things where they’re afraid to put it out there for people to see because they’re afraid it’s going To get eaten up man um, you know it was common for back in the day, for you know, women to bring their kids to the gym and – and you know, she’s an exception she’s one of these girls.
You know fields eventually walked away from the sport, rather than turning pro uh to end her fighting career and uh.
You know she never really suffered too many too many bad injuries, man, a knee injury.
She suffered at work uh and then the split with her husband kind of you know made it all stop, but they were lured back into the sport in 2010, when stacy robinson, a fellow former fighter at cassell boxing club, who had been in krep’s corner for her First fight as a little girl opened his own gym and asked them to help fields assisted on a volunteer basis and krebs led a woman’s exercise class.
It wasn’t long until krabs was back in training at caselles and in 2014 kreps won the golden gloves national championship.
In the youth division at 141, but soon after she left caselles to test other gyms in the area, eventually fields chose to become her daughter’s coach.
They began traveling nationally, they hired a professional trainer uh.
She is, you know, a key to practice any time at gonzales boxing gym club at niagara falls and uh.
You know she’s looking she’s looking to make a statement, man so be on the lookout.
118 pounds man, this girl, she comes from a you know, a pedigree of boxers in their family, she’s trained by her mom first time.
I’Ve ever seen that if this girl ends up with a championship, it’ll be great she’s, definitely a force to be reckoned with at the 118 man.
She’S been doing this stuff she’s been around it, since she was five she’s been doing it since she was nine.
You know she’s a bronze medalist in youth world championships.
She’S got national golden gloves.
She knows she’s experienced in the amateur game.
She’S got her mom behind her she’s got her dad her dad was a competitor in strongman competitions and lost to a boxer, and his wife convinced him that he needed to learn the science of boxing to become better.
So they both started boxing husband and wife, and then they have their kid.
Who eventually becomes a boxer now guys be on the lookout for this girl man, mikaya krabs, this girl she’s going to be a force in the 118 pound division, man she’s a banger.
She definitely is going to be wearing a belt man.
