I've seen this fight before, and well recall that it was at least a very good, even round. Even rd 2 for as long as it lasted was evenly contested, but she walked into about 4-5 heavy punches, and I suppose her jaw was not built to take a strong man's wallop. He was too strong for her.
I believe that she was by far the best woman boxer I ever saw, and even past her prime, was unbeatable. Boxed just like a man, and overwhelmed all her opposition, which admittedly wasn't of high grade. Christy Martin ducked her for years, even using the excuse that she wanted Rijker to undergo tests to make sure she wasn't a man. Rijker tried every way possible to get her into the ring, but Martin kept blustering her way out of it with the silliest reasons.
Was it Don King who offered a million dollar purse for them to fight?? Someone will have the right answer.
This was the same sort of evasive tactic, just using a different medium, as Lennox Lewis's evasion of V. Klitschko when he was ducking the promised return
match.
I have had several contacts with Rijker in the past and am on her mailing list.
