	Isra Girgrah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Girgrah lost to Martin on points over eight rounds, but her name's stock rose in defeat, as most boxing magazine writers agreed that she performed well against the defending WBC women's world champion.
		Girgrah became the first Middle Eastern woman to be a world champion in boxing history when she knocked out Mullet in the fourth round, in a fight that was, once again, held in Atlantic City.
		Girgrah won her next three bouts, but she did not expose the WIBF title in any of those fights, reason why she was stripped of the WIBF championship.

	Women's Boxing: Isra Girgrah vs. Christy Martin
		At any rate, Atlanta's Isra Girgrah proved herself as a legitimate contender, worthy of the #5 rank she received from the WIBF, and Christy proved once again that she is a great brawler but not nearly as outstanding a boxer as she thinks she is.
		Girgrah did most of her late work from the outside but she was also able so inflict punishment with her infighting as the fight wore on and Martin, who has little experience past six rounds despite her huge experience in terms of fights, was no longer superior in that area.
		The punishment Girgrah had inflicted throughout the fast paced battle began to show up on Martin's face at the end of the sixth as she had a huge purple bump under her right eye, surely as a result of the left hooks her opponent had been landing.
