Personal Quotes:

“Boxing is more of a mental, strategic thing, and that’s what intrigued me. I’m a big thinker, I love to become involved in the complexities of things.” – The Detroit News, 2001
       
“My fifth fight was shown on ESPN2. I never underestimate fighters, regardless of their records, but I could tell she was weaker, so I decided that I wanted to give the crowd an impressive knockout. It still shocks me when I show them what I did to her.” – Boxing News, 2004

“Being a professional athlete is a dream come true. When I was young, like 8 years old, I used to do 100 sit-ups before bed, followed by 30 push-ups and 100 calf raises -- I don’t know where it came from, it was just in my blood. At that age I was so jealous of guys because they could grow up to be professional athletes, but there were no avenues for women. But I got my dream. I began with the goal to be the most entertaining and talented female fighter out there. I wanted the crowd to have fun and to prove that women can be outstanding fighters, but ever since I’ve been watching the rankings, I also really want to be number one.” – Boxing News, 2004

Testimonials:

“Kara Ro is the most skilled female boxer I have ever seen in my life” – Emanuel Steward, Hall of Fame boxing manager/trainer.
