San Jose's Melissa McMorrow received her WBO world title belt today, and she wasted no time in prominently displaying it at her training grounds of the B Street Boxing Gym in San Mateo.
McMorrow shocked the world on May 16 when she traveled to Germany and secured a majority decision victory over previously unbeaten WBO/WBA/WIBF flyweight champion Susi Kentikian. (The WBA was not on the line for the fight.)
The belt was crafted by Sartonk Designs, who make most of the world championship diadems out there, including those awarded by the IBF and IBO. They also produce regional belts as seen on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights last month when San Francisco's Karim Mayfield held his NABO title aloft with pride after stopping Raymond Serrano.
