	Christy Martin, That Was Then....
		Martin, of course did stay down, since, in fact, she was probably the last person in the Grand Casino in Biloxi, MS who wanted the one sided boxing match with Laila Ali to continue.
		They were all opponents that Christy Martin KO'd as part of a long string of carefully chosen bouts during her days as the "face" of Women's boxing and the female star of PPV boxing events in the nineties.
		As Payne was led, dazedly, to her corner, Martin proceeded to dance around the ring, mocking, in a particular graceless move, Payne's "legless" reaction to the punches.

	BOXING NEWS: Christy Martin, That was Then...
		They were all opponents that Christy Martin KO'd as part of a long string of carefully chosen bouts during her days as the "face" of Women's boxing and the female star of PPV boxing events in the nineties.
		For the fact was that a number of Martin's bouts, maybe too many, during that time period, were like that: overmatched opponents, in against a fighter, Christy Martin, who had boxing skills and punching power her opponents could only begin to imagine.
		However, the stark contrast of those two Christy Martins; one the preening winner in 1996, humiliating her clearly overmatched opponent, and the Christy Martin of last Saturday, beaten to the canvas, by a bigger, more powerful, more skilled woman is not difficult to recognize.

	BraggingRightsCorner.com - "Ladies Night In Biloxi"...by Jeff Mayweather
		The fight with Martin was supposed to be an execution that ended up being a very competitive match, which had Christy Martin doubting her own ability as she at one time in the fight said to her cornerman...
		Christy Martin chances of beating Laila Ali are slim and none; just finishing on her feet through the final bell would be a major accomplishment in my eyes.
		Christy is a true warrior and I feel she will really give her all to make this fight a competitive one, but any real chance of beating Ali would have had to happen very early in her career, when Ali was sloppy and seemed to fight on pure heart and guts.

	Never Hit A Woman
		Today the 29-year-old Martin holds the title of WBC Women's Lightweight Champion, and is billed as the women's 'pound for pound' champion with her impressive record of 37-2-2 with 27 KO's.
		Trained by her 54-year-old husband, Jim Martin, in his Orlando gym, Christy caught the eye of mega-promoter Don King, who decided to sign her despite the fact that women's boxing was still considered part of the freak-show genre.
		Christy Martin's big opportunity came in 1996 when King provided her the perfect vehicle to start gaining national attention.

		The daughter of the former heavyweight champion rocked Martin in the 1st, hurt her in the 2nd, floored her in the 3rd, and dropped the lady billed as the "Coal Miner's Daughter", for the final time in the fourth round.
		Martin, 35, froze next to the ropes for an instant and Ali nailed her with another whip-like combinations to the head and midsection.
		Martin survived the rest of the round but she was breathing heavily and looked shattered when she turned at the sound of the bell and returned to her stool.

		Christy Martin has always trained with men and certainly fights like many, so she had no problem climbing inside the squared circle with yours truly for our weekly in ring segment.
		Another staple of Christy Martin fights was once the bell sounded for round 1 and Christy landed her first punch, boxing fans knew they were looking at something special, and many times that first shot would be all she wrote for her opponents, who could not deal with Martin’s talent and tenacity.
		Christy’s tremendous power would not have materialized without a tremendous training ethic and the development of skills, so much of which she dedicates to trainer and husband, Jim Martin.
