The seven-second KO win by women’s boxer Seniesa Estrada (19-0, 8 KOs) may have been a record-setter, but it’s also generated plenty of controversy and outrage over how Miranda Adkins (5-1, 5 KOs) was even approved as her opponent in the first place.
California State Athletic Commission chief officer Andy Foster already expressed regret over sanctioning last Friday’s bout, and now we’re hearing from the actual matchmaker responsible for that lopsided contest.
Golden Boy Boxing matchmaker Robert Diaz spoke to The Ring not only to shield Foster from criticism that the commission has taken, but to effectively say “my bad” for letting this happen.
