The fight vs. Lisa Howarth is indeed one that deserves a rematch. Must be one the worsed fight i've seen for number of reasons.
Fight started with Lisa being over weight, so the scheduled title fight was cancelled and Ilonka remained Champion. Then Lisa injured herself in the dressing room with her warm up.
On the Dutch side, Ilonka was in a very bad & unconcentrated mood that day. As you can see on the video, she totally ignores her corner and just avoids to go into fight with Lisa, who on her part is protecting her injured leg, and doesn't do much herself during the fight.
In a recent interview Ilonka explained her side of the story which basicly says she was in a big argument with Lucien that day and the week before, and with all bullshitt and bad luck around that fight just couldn't concentrate and focus.
So, yes. I think both camps have very bad memories on that "jinxed" night in "Zonnenhuis", and a rematch would be the best solution to erase this bad memory.
After a short break since her last fight in Curacao, Ilonka is doing very well.
If Lisa Howarth can make the weight this time, a rematch is high on Ilonka´s wish list. See Ilonka´s interview with Dan C aswell on this subject.
