This was at the beginning of a huge crest of popular interest in women's pro boxing, and the 36-year-old Canino, who had competed in kickboxing and boxing for more than a decade by then, figured it was about time for her to start reaping the recognition and earnings due a world champion in any sport.
Gogarty, whose boxing career began in 1991, remained formidable and had been defeated only once at the time, a year earlier, in a televised slugfest with the famous Don King protégée Christy Martin.
A few days after the fight, Gogarty signed a promotional contract with Don King, a major coup when the vast majority of women fighters can't get backing; it virtually guaranteed more title fights and better paydays for Gogarty, as long as she continued winning.

Gogarty managed to hold her own against the more experienced Martin, and over the six rounds Gogarty landed some heavy shots to Martin's countenance.
The Martin "camp" however, learned well from the Gogarty bout and, as a result, were somewhat less than daring when selecting opponents for Martin's national appearances.
Gogarty had exposed the fact that Martin had never been the hardest fighter to hit and Anani and Rijker had knockout power and thus both were blatantly bypassed as Martin foes.

But then, in an undercard bout, Christy Martin and Deirdre Gogarty came out swinging, supplying the fast and furious action that the men's match lacked.
Making things more difficult is that women boxers are tethered to the same managers, trainers, and promoters who have a choke hold on men's boxing—a sport mired in controversy and under attack as dangerous, corrupt, and senselessly brutal.
Insiders say that promoters, aware of the titillating effects of foxy boxers, increasingly replace heavy hitters like Gogarty and Martin with glamorous lightweights—literally and figuratively—proving that looks, who you know, and who your daddy is still trump tenacity in the boxing ring for women.
