Moss back in the zone as Corporate Fight Night returns
By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It’s fight week once again for Terri Moss And while there are no titles on the line and her name won’t be announced as one of the competing principals, it’s still the same old feeling of stress as opening-bell time draws closer. The 5-foot-1 dynamo, who consistently weighed in just a shade or two north of 100 pounds, hasn’t stepped through the ropes as a professional for more than seven years. But, she concedes, a life that used to revolve around fight preparation and competition has become many worlds more hectic. The eighth incarnation of her pet project – Atlanta Corporate Fight Night – goes off at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Foundry at Puritan Mill. And while it’s still a concept that matches accounts against tax attorneys and insurance agents against school admins, Moss gets revved as if belts were at stake. The Corporate Fight Night model, a twice-yearly fixture in Georgia, sprang from Moss’s desire to give business people the chance to experience what she did 18 times between 2002 and 2007 in a pro career that ultimately earned her a world title – the WIBF’s 105-pound crown – in her final outing at age 41. “The show is like a machine that almost runs by its own momentum,” she said. “So luring people isn't something I have to do anymore. The more it grows, the more bells and whistles I like, though.”
