The fight should have been the WPKL -52,16Kg World Title fight.
Maybe my way of thinking is strange, but if you gonna take a serious shot at a World Title, at least be prepaired, and making the weight goes without saying in my opinion.
Not making the weight & injuring yourself in the dressingroom when taking up such a challange after a 5 years absence doesn't make much sence to me.
As for Ilonka. Her attitude that night was as much inexcusable & unproffesional as Lisa's. Whatever reason you are upset about, you do not show it in the ring. This was a classic early carreer mistake in my opinion. She was only fighting just over 2,5 years back then, and was very far from the level she is fighting and dealing with the sport at today in every aspect.
Lisa didn't have any problems with Ilonka and vice versa. All very much true because nothing happened that night. The fight was a total nightmare with two fighter just not wanting to fight. Worsed fight I've ever seen without a doubt.
Anybody who doesn't believe me can order a copy from Nikko sport, Order nr: KB198 where the fight is listed as I.Elmont vs. M.Hatten!!! Seems even the promotor wants to hide this debacle.
Let me add, that my comments are on this particular fight only. I really do hope we'll get a rematch, because this fight shouldn't have been fought, and both girls deserve much better.
This was a waist of time. A very dark page in 2 impressive carreers from 2 top fighters for who I have lots of respect.
Just my opinion,
