ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Officials have been named for the Fresquez Productions-presented “The Reckoning,” featuring the IBA and WBAN rematch between light welterweight champion Anne Sophie Mathis (26-1, 22 KOs) and nine-time World Champion Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm (30-2-3, 9 KOs) to determine the mythical women’s pound-for-pound championship, June 15 Route 66 Casino Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The judges, all from Las Vegas, will be Duane Ford, Dave Moretti and Lisa Giampi with Jon Schorle (El Dorado Hills, CA) as the referee.
