Lol yes I saw that episode of Sports Science too. I laughed out loud when the back of the dummy's head flew off

Unfortunately Lucia tore her Achilles tendon while training for a match with Christy Martin in 2005. Recovery time was an estimated 4-7 months and the fight never came to pass. In 2006 she stated she would only consider one more fight...a bout with Laila Ali.
In 2009 she became the first woman inducted into the World Boxing Hall Of Fame.
A link to some information on her career in case you're interested:
