Ana Pascal On Her Bout Versus "Unidentified Male"
By Mike DeLisa
Panamanian boxer Ana Pascal is angry at reports by Fightnews.com that she was knocked out recently by an "unidentified Male" in a mixed-sex match in Curazao.
Pascal, WIBA Jr Welterjunior welterweight champion, confirms that she fought a man, Venezuelan veteran José Español, whose last bout was a 1-round loss to Harold Warren in 1997! (See http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=033463)
Pascal asserts that her scheduled opponent Luz Marina Sanavia failed to appear and that she was offered the fight with Español. In fact, the bout was a tame affair that went the scheduled 8-round distance.
"The guy tried to knock me out," Pascal reports, but he couldn't even knock me down. We went the eight rounds and at the end, even he asked for applause for me."
