CSN Weekly Spotlight: Knight Makes First Title Defense in Mexico (With VIDEO)

If 2011 was a year to remember for Bay Area women’s pro boxing, then 2012 has its supporters looking for a time machine to speed through it.

Last month, San Jose’s Melissa McMorrow went to Mexico to fight for a vacant flyweight championship only to lose via controversial decision.  Daly City’s Ana Julaton fared no better, leaving her WBO junior featherweight title belt in Argentina after a points defeat two Fridays ago.

Ava “The Lady of Boxing” Knight will aim to break the trend when she travels south of the border to defend her IBF flyweight title for the very first time Saturday.
