McCaskill retains title with controversial draw

Jessica McCaskill W10 Sandy Ryan ...  This Saturday at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida, world welterweight champion Jessica McCaskill of Chicago and Sandy Ryan of England drew after ten tremendously competitive rounds. Ryan took advantage of her loftier height and her extra reach,  using her jab and combinations to tag her opponent. McCaskill showed, as in all of her fights, great physical condition, always looking to attack while moving  forward. It was a difficult fight to score because both women showed great qualities in the ring. Judge Mark Streisand scored it 97-93 in favor of McCaskill. Judge Mike Ross scored it 96-94 in favor of Ryan and Barry Lindenman had it even at 95-95. Editor's note: most neutral observers believe Ryan deserved the decision.
