#1 ranked Kat Proudfoot, 29 Palms Fire Dept. and Jasmine Isiodoria, EMS, introduced boxing fans to the women’s Super-Welterweight division with their nonstop give and take battle Saturday night.

Both fighters put on a great performance but it was Proudfoot who would claim the victory and keep her perfect record intact.

10th ranked Ancel Patricio, Orange County Sheriff Dept. sneaks by Babek Izadseta, CDCR, Chino in Saturday night’s SoCal Battle of the Badges.  As soon as the bell rang the fighters fell right into their style. Izadiis the slugger came out swinging, firing punches backing Patricio against the ropes. Patricio would use good footwork and defense to avoid the early onslaught. Izadseta continued to turn the heat up on Patricio who gradually made adjustments to outwit, outbox and find holes in Izadseta defense to land shots. This was a very close fight that could have gone either way. In the end it was Ancel Patricio who would get the win by split decision.
