Dexter’s Thoughts
I have had the pleasure of refereeing Stacy and was very impressed with her fitness and her boxing ability. Stacy did not stop throwing punches and moving around the ring, she was very controlled and won the match.
Stacy has now turned to the amateurs and she is just finding her feet, but I have a feeling this season will be the one she shines and maybe gets herself a title. The Birmingham Boxing Column wishes her all the lucky in the world and hope to do a write up about her winning an amateur title.
