Ronica Jeffrey: First Taste of
Bronx Paradise

At the Paradise Theatre in the Bronx, January
31, 2008, Ronica Jeffrey collided with Karen Dulin for a scheduled 4 round
Professional Boxing Debut.
For the first two rounds, a faster Ronica scored better in general with
especially heavy punches to Karen’s body. But make no mistake, tough and
solid to the core, she took the blows and keep fighting. During the third
round, Ronica, again using her speed advantage, started landing some head
shots that took a toll. Karen sometimes looked away to protect her face,
when she might have blocked and countered instead of losing precious focus.
Never-the-less, during the round four slug fest, Karen fought well despite
falling pray to Ronica’s single combinations, a left to the body then right
to the head.
New Yorkers witnessed a dynamic bout of heart and fury, physical
conditioning and grit that did boxing proud. Karen fought with courage and
earned her right into Professional boxing. And an equally brave and
determined Ronica earned and started her Professional boxing career with a
win.
