Here's a trivia question (that I have absolutely no clue as to the answer), but there was a gal who used to fight on the Pay-Per-View fights we bought when Tyson was still on top (around the era of the 'ear thing') ... Christy/Christie something ... she always wore Pink.
Who was that and is she still in business ?
We used to root for her every time ... she'd get bloodied and bruised up but she never stopped -- won more than she lost from the fights I saw ... a heck of a lot more 'boxer heart' than Tyson or the other headliners had.
Who was that gal ?

Christy Martin definitely had a lot of heart, but without Tyson and others to headline most people would never have gotten to see her fight. Those were the days. Don King used to put out some stacked pay-per-views, and I'm fortunate to have some of them on video.
Martin's always been my favorite woman boxer. It wasn't just about her fighting in the ring. It was about the integrity she displayed outside of it. She always seemed like a good role model. If only she wasn't a bleeder.... :)
Anyhow, here's her website. Yeah, you guessed it:

And her career record on BoxRec. You can also click on the dates to see who else was fighting on the cards. I didn't realize until now that Sergei Lyakhovich was on some of them. :)
