I watched it, but I have no idea who this DVD was made for. You might think it was me: boxing + women, with sort of and “underground” feel — potentially cool, right? I dunno. Apparently, a bunch of crazy women with no fight training signed as many waivers as it took to get in [...]

Modafferi vs. Coenen Pre-Fight Interviews
