"Just crazy." It was a close decision, with Grguric winning the first round unanimously. However, Williams would take the next two, and the fight as well., Though she didn't win the fight, Gr- guric has put another mark on Williams' ndefeatrecord - the only boxer to win a round against the juggernaut. Fighting in the second slot of the evening, Grguric exploded in the first round, and Killam said while the wom- en's matches were outnumbered great- ly, they were the most punch -heavy of the night. "The two girls' fights they had were more exciting than the 10 guys' fights they had," he said. "No fouls, non-stop punching, action in every round." anis He said the difference is in the ap- proach, with the ladies getting right down to business. "Guys fight more like a•chess match - trying to set stuff up," he said. "Girls just come out banging." Killam was to take on Darren Fletch- er, but the fight was cancelled due to his opponent's no-show. . ,5sasr He said while disappointing, it does give himself time to get back down to his 140 weight class. • However, he will. be taking the ring against 170 -pound Daniel Zcoska Feb. 22 in London. Zcoskz has a five and two record. Grguric will be once again taking the ring against Jen Barnai, looking to avenge a decision loss from late last year.
