(SEPT 18) Super hot prospect Rachel
Clark on a quest to fight the best up and coming fighters in the
world packed her bags and headed south to Costa Rica along with
Palmetto Boxing’s head trainer Dominic Robinson-Neal. They went to
take on who is considered the top boxer in their country, Hanna
Gabriel. Gabriel had her work cut out for her when the undefeated
fighter, (3-0), chose Rachel as her opponent for their September 13,
2008 showdown.
The Hype leading up to the fight was unbelievable said trainer
Robinson-Neal, “There were billboards, TV commercials, posters and
news articles posted everywhere. There was so much hype about Hanna
you would think she was Muhammad Ali. People everywhere were telling
us that Hanna would knock Rachel out within two rounds. That only
motivated us. I was confident in Rachel and her preparation for the
fight.
My reply to all the skeptics was we would knock her out within two
rounds. It was a great fight. We had her down in the fourth round
and let her off the hook. We were never in trouble and we controlled
the pace of the fight from beginning to end.
According to the
local media
we were knocked down in the 5th round. That was completely untrue.
Everyone in boxing knows when you go to a foreign country to fight
and you come out with a draw, what the real outcome was.
We will gladly accept a rematch tomorrow but we know that they would
rather fight a grizzly bear than face Rachel Clark again. We will
fight anyone from 147-150.
Just call us, pay us and the fight is on. Records are not a concern
to us. We will not spend the next year or two trying to pad our
record. We want to fight the best fighters now.
