Dunaway Looking For Championship Fight After Defeating Cordova |
 |
 |
 |
From Staff Reports
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - Former female minimumweight world champion Hollie Dunaway won a 6-round split decision over previously-unbeaten Chantel Cordova Thursday (Jan. 28) at the Cola-Cola Center.
The match was contracted for flyweight, and both weighed 107 pounds.
Dunaway, who improved to 23-8-1, 10 KOs, won 58-56 and 60-54 on two cards. Cordova (7-1-1, 3 KOs), from Colorado, won 59-55 on the third card. There were no knockdowns.
"From talking to people at ringside, they told me they thought Hollie should have won a unanimous decision," said Ron Brand, Dunaway's manager who also worked her corner. "It was a rough and tough fight. Hollie was landing solid shots. Chantel hadn't been in the ring for a couple of years, bu she was still an undefeated fighter."
Dunaway is originally from Van Buren, AR. She currently lives in Las Vegas.
"It was a good, hard-fought fight," Brand said. "Hollie set up the jab and right crosses. In clinches, Hollie caught her on breaks. They put on quite a show."
Though Dunaway has no championship belt at the moment, Brand said she is ready to fight for one.
"We were glad to get a win," Brand said. "We'd definitely would like to fight for a belt pretty soon."
