TWO PAIR OF ORIGINAL GLOVES KIM MESSER FOUGHT YVONNE CAPLES - FEBRUARY 11, 2000 I (Sue Fox) covered this fight ringside, on February 11, 2000 at the Treasure Island Casino, in Kenner, Louisiana, at an all-female card that ESPN2 televised some of the fights (not this one). These are the ORIGINAL GLOVES that Messer and Caples fought with in their fight: Kim Messer from Kirkland, Washington, defeated Yvonne Caples with a six-round unanimous decision. After getting the gloves shortly after they left the ring, I wrote on the gloves with all the info and I signed the gloves, to verify I was the one who wrote on the gloves.
Also on this card was the following: Margaret Sidoroff defeated Jolene Blackshear in a ten-round unanimous decision over IFBA Flyweight champion; Marischa Sjauw, and the challenger, won a ten-round split decision over Zulfia Koudoussova of Russia the IFBA Lightweight title; Trina Ortegon defeated Kendra Lenhart for the IFBA super Middleweight championship. Marsha Valley, Los Angeles, defeated Patricia Demick in a six-rounder that was an action-packed fight. It was the first fight on the card, before ESPN2 turned on the cameras; Ann Wolfe of Waco, Texas defeated Mary Ann Almager of Midland, Texas in the first round.
