The face of women’s boxing in the United States could lie with Heather “The Heat” Hardy. Making her PBC debut, Hardy wanted to show out and for the first two rounds, she did just that. Pressuring and attacking her Hungarian opponent, Renata Domsodi, It looked like she was well on her way. An accidental head-butt in the third round that lead to a no contest stoppage change that. Hardy understandably was not happy with the outcome.
“It’s very disappointing, the past two months of sacrificing, selling tickets, not planning trips for my daughter,” Hardy told BoxingScene.com. “Everything all rolls into these 8 rounds and when it doesn’t work out to a tee, it gets disappointing.”
Hardy shared her displeasure saying that her opponent was looking for and finally got her way out.
“I did and I’m not saying it to be disrespectful but we could all see, she wanted out,” Hardy said.
Hardy is a local Brooklyn fan favorite and feels that her performance and the fact that she brought in a good crowd will lead her to be on more PBC cards.
“It’s an honor to be open one of these cards,” stated Hardy. “With all the coverage these guys are getting, it’s good to let them know that there’s a female on these cards that sells tickets, hey girls fight too. Heather Hardy sold enough tickets that they will bring me back.”
