Game, Set, Slap

Tennis superstar Anna Kournikova, who is often better known for her looks then her tennis, had an off the court match in a Vegas nightclub recently.

Anna-Kournikova-26

From People Magazine:

Anna Kournikova ended up with cuts on her neck after getting into a shoving match this past weekend in Las Vegas

An onlooker said Kournikova, 28, and her assistant were sitting at a VIP table when the other woman bumped them. They pushed each other but were separated – until the woman confronted Kournikova again as she was leaving the nightclub.

The woman came back over and threw a drink on Anna and her assistant,” the source said. “The woman was definitely drunk.”

The other woman grabbed Kournikova by the neck and pushed her into a wall before security broke them apart.

Britt the Boxer

Female bodybuilder Britt Miller entered a different type of competition – boxing. Apparently she also did very well in this, winning her fights and collecting $2,500 in the process.

Ho chiesto a Raz di poter parlare sul blog di questo incontro fra le due pugili. Non è realtà virtuale, ma è realtà “reale”. Tra l’altro l’incontro verrà trasmesso in diretta su ITALIA 1.

Il pugilato femminile italiano vanta delle ottime pugili, e molte ragazze praticano questo sport a livello amatoriale. Purtroppo vi sono ancora ridicole resistenze da parte di alcuni ambienti. Resistenze che vanno lentamente, ma gradualmente finendo.

A Simona Galassi e a Stefania Bianchini un augurio: vinca la migliore!!

MMA Females Prime Time on CBS Television in the United States


Well, Newark, New Jersey is already well known for its violence and night time street fighting. Newark recently opened the Prudential Center, a brilliant 17,000 seat arena that is the home of another brawling Newark gang, the New Jersey Devils.

Now CBS, sometime after Clinton and Obama stop fighting, launches the first prime time network telecasts of EliteXC Mixed Martial Arts fighting live from the Prudential Center on May 31, 2008. Dave Meltzer writes for Yahoo Sports: “The entire landscape of mixed martial arts changed today. Maybe. The announcement that CBS will broadcast live Elite XC shows on Saturday nights in prime time is potentially the biggest deal in the history of the sport in North America.”

Gina Carano will be fighting in Newark and for those of you unfamiliar with the rules of combat, here is Gina to explain them.
