At one time she had 14 wins by KO in her first 15 fights. I do't think there was good opposition then, but she was good enough to beat any woman. A genuine fighter who didn't know how to lose.

So I looked her up. I wrote to her and we exchanged about 5-6 letters over about a year. She wasn't doing much at that time, following Christy Martin around trying to shame her into a fight. Martin wouldn't fight. I think that Bob Arum offered a million dollar purse (or a million dollars each-can't recall). She used to train with The Roach. This was long before the movie "Million Dollar Baby" although maybe the producer got the idea for the name from the aborted Martin-Rijker fight.
