McGee Excited To Show Off Her New WBC International Super Lightweight Title At The "Tinley Park Rumble"

June 4 (Merrillville, In) - Octavius James' One In A Million Inc.'s most recent card "Date With Destiny" was "Merciless" Mary McGee's night to prove all the doubters wrong and at the same time fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming the WBC International Super Lightweight Champion and also successfully defend her NABC Lightweight title.

The undefeated Gary, Indiana native (17-0, 10 KOs) accomplished both as she won a spectacular spine-tingling 10-round Super Fight over the WBF Super Lightweight champion Kristy "Rose" Follmar (16-2, 9 KO's)

"The expectations were so high and I can't even explain the feeling of being crowned the champion after that war," said McGee.

"I really wanted to show my gratitude for everyone that was on my side that night, so this gives me an opportunity to give the love back that they gave me," McGee added. "I'm also extremely excited to see Walker vs. Waite battle, because both of them are my stable mates and they are both incredible fighters."

During the loaded "Tinley Park Rumble," McGee will be available for autographs and pictures for those in attendance at the Holiday Inn/Tinley Park Convention Center.

"Mary has worked so hard and overcome so much for everything she has accomplished and she has become one of the world's top female fighters at such a young age," said Octavius James, C.E.O. of One In A Million Inc.

"I really couldn't be any more proud of her and all that she has been able to achieve in and out of the ring," added James. "The road doesn't end here for her though, she has a lot more titles to stake claim on and the "Tinley Park Rumble" will give her a chance to just sit and enjoy her success for one night before she gets right back into the ring very soon." James said..

Klitschko to face Chagaev on June 20

FRANKFURT (AP)—Ruslan Chagaev will replace David Haye as Wladimir Klitschko’s opponent in a heavyweight title bout on June 20.

Haye bowed out of the fight on Wednesday, saying he had injured his back in training, and said he wanted to push the date back to July.

But Klitschko, who holds the IBF and WBO belts, said he was in top form and wanted to keep the date—a 60,000-ticket sellout at Schalke’s soccer stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

“It’s unfortunate that David Haye can’t compete. But now I’m looking ahead and I’m excited about a particularly sporting challenge with Ruslan Chagaev,” Klitschko (52-3) said in a statement released Saturday by his management company, KMG.

Chagaev has been the WBA’s “champion in recess” since withdrawing from two scheduled rematches against Nikolai Valuev. A third match between the two fighters scheduled for last Saturday in Helsinki was canceled after Finnish boxing authorities said Chagaev failed a “medical requirement.”

The WBA had said that the two must fight before the end of this month to decide ownership of the title, but has not announced what the most recent cancellation means for that deadline.

Klitschko’s manager, Bernd Boente, said Valuev was also considered as a potential challenger for the June 20 fight.

In February, Chagaev (25-0-1) won a technical decision over Carl Davis Drumond at Rostock, Germany—the Uzbekistan-born boxer’s first fight in more than a year.

Late replacement Molina beats Perez

MIAMI (AP)—Carlos Molina, a late replacement for former welterweight champ Carlos Quintana, won a lopsided unanimous decision over Danny Perez on Friday night.

Molina was the aggressor from the opening round of the 154-pound bout at Mahi Temple Auditorium. Effectively cutting distance, Molina pressured Perez and scored with combinations to the body and left hooks to the head.

Two judges scored the fight 119-109 for Molina, and the third also had the Mexican winning 118-110. There were no knockdowns.

Molina won his ninth consecutive bout and the minor NABO title.

In the third round, Molina took advantage of a shorter range and connected with a three-punch combination to the head. Later in the round, Molina (16-4-1) caught Perez with a right to the body and followed with a right uppercut.

Perez, of El Cajon, Calif., picked up the pace in the fifth and scored with a lead left jab and rights to the body. But Molina remained busier, landing short combinations to the head.

In the eighth round, Perez (34-6) scored some of his best shots of the bout as he landed rights to the head and a left uppercut. Molina quickly recovered and again pressured Perez, pinning to the ropes and landing short combinations to the head and body.

Molina never allowed Perez to turn the fight in his favor and continued pressuring Perez. Molina solidified his victory when he landed two solid straight rights to the head followed by a right uppercut in the 11th round.

The loss snapped Perez’s three-fight winning streak since resuming his career in 2008 after a three-year absence.
