It may not look like it, but you are looking at the number one female fighter in the United States. Lisa Kuronya, the captain of the U.S. Olympic Team, is one lady you don’t want to piss off.
I shot her hitting this bag for a good ten minutes and let me tell you that each hit the bag took felt scarily real. Those of you who think women don’t belong in the world of boxing should sit down with Lisa and Liz, two of Portland’s finest fighters.
Liz, who is rated 5th in the nation, is no chump either. Both these women are living examples of dedication, training, and ferocity. Their hits are just as hard as the men training next to them.
Take it from me, this isn’t Taebo class, this is boxing.
NOTE: I have completed my documentary project on the Portland Boxing Club. To take a look at the project, done in traditional black and white, check out the 'stories' section on my website.
