FROM RONICA JEFFREY:
I have a question for a so called fighter Patricia “Bum Bum” Alcivar. Are you a Marathon runner? A model? Or a boxer? Every time you give an interview you list your amateur titles. You call yourself a pioneer in female amateur boxing. That’s an insult. Here are my list of titles:
3 Golden Glove titles
Silver in the U.S. Championships
Metro Chamiopn
Empire State Champion
PAL Champion
This is not the amateur’s anymore Patty this is the pros. If you think of yourself as such a pioneer lets see who has the better amateur pedigree. I’m sure your going to have some kind of excuse as to why your not going to fight me. You may have to run a marathon or do some sort of reality series.
Very interesting comment and call out here.. This story is not an interview its a report based on facts.. The punch count is correct and the girl was out on her feet… ALL reporters mention the great amateur careers of those who turn Pro. As they did with you. As well it was The New York Daily News NYC’s biggest paper, who quoted Alcivar a pioneer in the sport, not herself. See this link:

Additionally.. The United States Olympic Committee recognized Alcivar with an award as a Pioneer in Womens Boxing..
I am confused by this though, normally people call out fighters at the top of their own division not a smaller fighter with less fights in a lower division. As you mentioned this is professional boxing so, remaining professional inside and outside of the ring is encouraged.
