    Boxing Belle
    15 August 2010 - Steve Wellings Christina McMahon turned professional on DolPhil Promotions’ August 7 show and the likeable personal trainer from Carrickmacross impressed the crowd in her debut victory over Ineta Lieknina. Speaking post-fight the fledgling super-bantamweight was pleased, yet critical, of her overall performance.
    “I’m happy with my first professional fight but it’s also nice to see what’s ahead of me,” she admitted.
    “I would like to get fitter and must generally improve because I cannot afford to stay at the standard you saw tonight. It was the first stepping stone to where I want to be and it gives me more hunger to go back and train harder because I want to become quicker and stronger.”
    Now she has tasted professional boxing the lady who travelled over to Belgrade to win a world kickboxing championship in 2007 wants to stay active and brush up on her skills.
    “I want to fight again as soon as possible,” Christina confirmed, “keep them rolling! In fact, every few months would be great. I have changed my style recently and that was the first time I got to try it out [versus Lieknina] and there’s no doubt about it, I like the Phil Sutcliffe way of fighting.
    “Turning southpaw is something I’ve always done, I don’t know whether it’s a good or bad habit but it worked tonight.”
    It worked well as McMahon was able to dominate centre ring and push her opponent back with spiteful combinations, although admittedly Lieknina offered little in the way of return fire.
    “I wasn’t necessarily looking for the knockout, I went for good boxing, scoring with my punches and throwing the shots as I saw them, picking the punches without wasting much. The atmosphere at home would be quite the same as tonight but when I go kickboxing I fight for Ireland and often travel away from home. I have a lot of family and I sold plenty of tickets for tonight,” she added.
    “I’d like to climb the ladder in the pro game and get as many fights under my belt and prove to my new team at Crumlin that I can box and I have faith in their coaching and they trust in me.”
    The leisure centre manager did not envisage herself becoming a champion at kickboxing and will approach her boxing career with the same philosophy of hard work and a bit of luck.
    “Honestly, when I started kickboxing I didn’t see myself as a world champion in the making; I just took every step at a time and moved up the levels one point at a time.
    “I enjoyed the experience and I’m delighted for the crowd and my team who took me on and put in a lot of work,” McMahon concluded.

    Aghhh Nutter man - we've been through this but Irish-Boxing.com (like ourselves) will only survive off hits to its website and time spent there - if you copy and paste a full article like that then there is no need for anyone to visit their despite you enjoying the article they produced.

    If I was Steve I would be a little annoyed that you did that - if you spot a good article and would like to share it then I would suggest that you copy and paste the first couple of paragraphs or type out the jist of it and then provide a link. That way a. we don't have pages and pages of copy and pasted articles here, b. the producer of the article gets the credit and traffic for their article which can help attract advertising and c. its helps the owner of the site see what articles are popular and what no one has any interest in.

    Its only a suggestion but I think its a prudent approach hombre!
