Hi Christy,
Thanks for the question.
I went to www.boxrec.com and did a search on the name you listed. Here's the link to the info I found:
http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=96233

I'm not sure where else to find info from so far back, especially since only two bouts were returned on my search.
At any rate, I hope this helps a little!
Thanks again for writing :)

Regards,
Lian
