Alisha McPhee vs. Wendy Roy There was a female bout on the card where Alisha McPhee fought Wendy Roy in a five round
Featherweight bout. Alisha McPhee had a relatively short
amateur career, fighting six times before turning pro and winning , but slow
starts have been a problem for her in many of her fights. McPhee weighed in at 124 pounds, a
bit heavier than she might like; Roy weighed 125. McPhee
set the tone for the fight in the opening round simply by being
quick. She fought behind her jab and was not shy about following
that with a right hand targeting Roy’s body. Roy answered with a
jab, but she did not throw it very often and spent much of her time
covering up and trying to block punches.
In the second round, after some
encouragement from her corner, Roy began to open up and she
threw more punches. However, she still could not
match McPhee’s output or accuracy. Roy did score with her right,
while McPhee threw combinations. The third round saw Roy’s best.
She gained some accuracy, and by the end of the round she had
caught McPhee to the chin. Perhaps emboldened by finally landing
some scoring shots, Roy threw more punches in the fourth round. McPhee answered her punch for
punch and created a problem by moving to create angles from
which she could land short quick shots to Roy’s body. That
pattern continued through the fifth round. McPhee looked as
fresh at the end as when the fight started. Roy tired a bit, but
she did not back away. At the end of five rounds all three
judges scored the fight 50-45 in favor of Alisha McPhee.
