"Blonde Bomber" Ebanie Bridges Continues Winning Ways in the UK PhilBoxing.com Tue, 07 Sep 2021  Scores Points Victory Over Tough Mailys Gangloff in Leeds Plus Devon Young scores 1st round KO in Pro debut NEW YORK (September 6, 2021) - "The Blonde Bomber" Ebanie Bridges won a hard-fought decision over French Bantamweight Champion Mailys Gangloff on Saturday in Leeds, England. Bridges, who was fighting just four weeks after her 3rd round stoppage over Bec Connolly, stepped in the ring sporting the Leeds colors of White, Blue, and Yellow to a wonderful ovation from the fans in attendance. Coming forward behind a tight guard from the get-go, Bridges appeared to injure her right hand early in the bout and later endured swelling around her right eye - perhaps a remnant of her hard fought battle against Shannon Courtenay this past April. Bridges was forced to bite down and tough it out through eight rounds against a very fit and competitive opponent in Gangloff. Bridges ultimately prevailed, winning by a referee score of 77-76 to raise her record to 7-1. Bridges' hand was visibly swollen after the fight with X-rays revealing significant bruising in her hand. The injury will undoubtedly take some time to heal, but when she is back Bridges will be looking to step up into the type of fights that will excite her now global fanbase - likely including a rematch with WBA Bantamweight champion Courtenay. Bridges is represented by Split-T Management under Split-T's own Brian Cohen. Devon Young score 1st round KO in Debut Young, 23 years-old of Aiken, South Carolina, took out Kenneth Thomas in the opening round in Columbia, South Carolina. Young compiled an impressive 42-12 mark as an amateur. As an amateur fighter, Young made it to the 2020 Olympic Trials, and was a Western qualifier champion in 2017 & 2018, and the 2015 Youth Open Champion. He also was a 2014 Junior Olympic champion. Young has the distinction as being the last American fighter to defeat Olympic Silver Medal winner Super Heavyweight, Richard Torrez  |
