Klopt, Germaine won op punten tijdens het Champions of Champions I evenement in Jamaica (2008). Dit ging destijds ook om de WBC wereldtitel. Eén jaar later won ze op Jamaica tijdens het tweede evenement de WMC wereldtitel in een partij tegen Angie Parr.

Ja, dat is algemeen bekend.
Het wordt tijd voor een rematch zoals ik dus al zei waarin Germaine haar ko slaat.
Kitchen beweert namelijk dat zij de betere was die partij... en nu met al die titels en ophemeling wordt het tijd om Holland weer nummer 1 te zetten.

WAR GERMAINE
