For You Sports Fans

My Mothers Brothers Granddaughter has recently fought for the world boxing championship in Germany. My Uncle Jimmy told me couple a days ago he had went to Germany to support her.

He told me the first go at it they called it a draw.

Then they had a rematch and my cousin Elena was the looser. Good going Elena, you have a proud cousin here.

Elena Reid

Elena Reid (born November 1, 1981 in Phoenix, Arizona) is a female boxer. Nicknamed "The Baby Doll", Reid is currently a resident of Las Vegas, but she returns to Phoenix to do her boxing training before her bouts. Her global boxing Identification number is US-AZ-020490.

Before becoming a professional women's boxer, Reid excelled in other sports, such as kickboxing. Her women's boxing debut was highly anticipated by her fans.

On April 18, 2000, she made her professional debut, beating Jo Ellen Caldwell by a four round unanimous decision, at Scottsdale's popular hang out place, the "Midnight Rodeo". On July 16, she made her Las Vegas debut, losing for the first, and so far only, time, when she was defeated by Layla McCarter with a four round unanimous decision.

Reid got her first knockout win on August 26, defeating Jessica Elgin Combs in the first round at Las Vegas.

On her next fight, she beat future world champion, Yvonne Caples, by a four round unanimous decision at Phoenix's Celebrity Theater. She beat Glenda Leon by knockout in round one and Bertha Gonzalez by decision in four before being rematched with Caples, on January 28, 2001, at a local community park in Phoenix. This time, Caples, who had obtained more experience since their first bout, held Reid to a four round draw (tie).

Reid then beat Valerie Williams by knockout in round one on September 25, once again at the Midnight Rodeo, before drawing with Elizabeth Rodriguez over four rounds, in Laughlin, Nevada.

Reid then embarked on a seven fight win streak, which lasted from April 5, 2002, when she outpointed Monica Michel over six rounds at the Celebrity theater, to June 28, 2003, when she drew with Mariana Juarez in six rounds, also at the Celebrity theater.

Some of the women she beat during that streak included Rodriguez by a decision in four at their Las Vegas rematch, Yolanda Gonzalez by a knockout in five in Toppenish, Washington, and Lakeysha Williams, by a decision in six, also at the Dodge theater.

After drawing with Johanna Pena-Alvarez in four rounds at Tucson on November 7, 2003, Reid got her first world title try.

Paired with Regina Halmich for Halmich's WIBF world Flyweight title on September 11, 2004, Reid came within an eyelash of becoming a world champion, drawing after ten rounds with Halmich, with scores of 98-94 for Halmich, 97-97 and 97-93 for Reid.

Her next fight was against Yvonne Chavez, whom Reid defeated by decision in five rounds.

On March 26, 2005, Reid fought Alicia Ashley, at Laughlin, Nevada. Reid was beaten by Ashley with a seventh round technical knockout.

Reid's record stands at 15 wins, 2 losses and 5 draws, with 4 wins by knockout.
