herself

In 2000, a friend, wanting nothing else than to punch out her post-divorce frustrations, talked
Terri Moss into going along on a visit to an Athens boxing gym.
Why not? Moss was in passable shape, at the time on bike patrol with the University of Georgia
police. It would be something different, a momentary variation on her workout routine.
The other woman couldn't shower off the whole boxing scene quickly enough. For Moss, it was a
little more complicated... READ MORE >

Good things happen to those who wait. Never let your dreams die. Perseverance, that’s the key.
Have belief in yourself.
The mantra of success is so often summed up in such clichés. And a few words with the new
Women’s International Boxing Federation (WIBF) straw-weight champion Terri Moss will confirm
that life’s rewards are found by applying these “simple” principles. ...READ MORE >

“Everybody listen. I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,” said lightweight world-title prospect Jorge
Lacierva, casting his wrapped hands into the air with shrugged shoulders. The entourage of well-
wishers, tightly gathered in the Georgia Mountains Center’s locker room, immediately hushed the
Mexican’s heartfelt sincerity.
It’s not often a boxer apologizes in this way. After all, coming out unscathed and with a
unanimous six-round decision against anyone hell bent on pounding your head is not bad for an
evening’s work. But last Saturday night’s series of bouts in Gainesville, featuring Lacierva on a six-
fight bill with one of two Dekalb-based boxers, was more about practice than pugilism.

Women box stress, hostilities away

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Or a growling female charging at you with her fists
wrapped in boxing gloves. Start running.
At a boxing gym off College Avenue in Decatur, the nemesis isn't really a human being. It's
stress. A group of women gather there regularly to throw punches and work up a good sweat in
the name of fitness. "We like to spit," said trainer Terri Moss, who has Madonna biceps. "I'm just
joking. That's one thing, you don't have to behave ladylike." ...READ MORE >

for the one thing in life that makes her feel really good: boxing.
That's the plot of the Oscar-nominated movie "Million Dollar Baby." It also sums up the journey of
local fighter and ex-cop Terri "The Boss" Moss. ..READ MORE >

Duluth Woman Making A Name For Herself As A Boxer
BYLINE: Camie Young

ATLANTA — Her boxing shoes have pink stripes. Her practice gloves lace up to her elbows.
A petite blond, Terri Moss, 37, isn’t the image of boxing, a sport where superstars come in the
form of large muscled men such as Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
Despite her small stature at 5’1”, Duluth’s Moss is ranked No. 2 in the world in her weight
class, the smallest, known as straw weight for 102 pounds and less.
She’s tough enough to train during the day, sparr with men and spend her nights on the streets
as an Auburn police officer. ..READ MORE >
