Alycia Baumgardner W12 Leila Beaudoin ... World junior lightweight champion Alycia Baumgardner defeated Leila Beaudoin by unanimous decision, defending her WBA, IBF, and WBO titles in Miami. The women fought twelve three-minute rounds, longer than the normal ten two-minute rounds for most women's title fights. The WBC refused to sanction a twelve rounder for women. From the opening rounds, Baumgardner controlled the pace with a sharp jab and patient counterpunching, gradually breaking Beaudoin (13-2) down with sustained pressure to the body and head. Beaudoin's eyes were soon bruised but she showed toughness throughout and found a few moments of success late in the fight. But Baumgardner’s command never wavered, punctuated by a knockdown in the seventh round. The judges returned tallies of 117–110 (twice) and 118–109, as Baumgardner improved her record to 17–1
