HOT OFF THE PRESS...

March 28 2003 Tulsa Oklahoma..

Boxing fans were treated to a "novice" match between Alejandra Lopez, 18, boxing for about four-eight weeks, no amateur experience versus_ Tonya Harding._ WBAN's Inside reporter said that there was an eight-pound difference between the two novices, as Lopez weighed in at 116 lbs and Harding weighed in at 124 lbs, with Harding weighing over the contract weight of 120 lbs. _WBAN's Insider reported that as far as the fight was concerned, the fight would have been entertaining to watch in a bar fight but to pay to see the fight, boxing fans would anticipate more.. WBAN's insider described the fight as basically a "cat fight" _and that neither appears to have much training.

_According to this Insider, Tonya's nose bled from round one, and by round two, Lopez was bleeding as well._ Final Scoring by all three judges was 36-40 for Harding.

This is the third "novice" fight for Harding, who now has a recorded boxing record of_ 2-1-0 (0KO) record.

This message below is from Tonya's godmother & former manager, Linda Lewis:

> It's 11:20 PM here, and I just got a phone call with our little
> friend from Tulsa. She called me and was very excited to report that
> she won again. She wanted me to write to you so you could let the
> fans know. It was another unanimous decision ( 4 point spread ) by
> the judges. Needless to say, she's very happy. She said she's not
> hurt, and that her opponent was very gracious to her. She ( Tonya )
> signed autographs for over an hour.
> So this was FYI from me.
> Best to you as always,

Also, here's another from the "Tulsa World" newspaper, which ran a short item on the match:

> determination.
>
> Seconds into her match against Alejandra Lopez, Harding was on
> the receiving end of a shot to her nose. Blood leaked from her
> right nostril, but it only served to spur her aggression.

> She unleashed a combination to the face of Lopez that also drew
> blood. By the time the four-round bout ended, the white satiny
