Teresa Perozzi will send shockwaves through the women's boxing world if she upsets the odds by defeating rising star Christina Hammer in Germany this month.

That's the verdict of her former promoter George Cuozzo who will have more than a passing interest in Perozzi's title fight against Hammer in Riesa on October 23.

The Seconds To Go Boxing president was Perozzi's manager when she last fought in Germany two years' ago against 'Sexy Assassin' Natascha Ragosina in what turned into a miserable night for both promoter and fighter.

Neither have spoken since with Perozzi continually blaming Cuozzo for her disappointing defeat claiming she was 'undercooked' for the biggest fight of her career.

Cuozzo's tells a very different story, though, and maintains Perozzi could have returned home with all seven belts on the line had she listened to her instructions and stuck to the game plan.

"I'm still very upset we lost that fight, she was the one I felt could beat that girl. I still do, all she had to do was follow our game plan," said New Jersey-based Cuozzo.

"She claims her conditioning was horrible but how can that be the case when she went hard for ten rounds? It still bothers me; I didn't go there to lose. I expected to come back with those seven belts."

Although Perozzi is still under contract with Seconds To Go Boxing, Cuozzo will not pursue his percentage of the purse when she fights Hammer for the vacant WBO Championship title.

But he is still annoyed about the allegations of poor management once again levelled at him by his former fighter in an interview with The Royal Gazette last month.

"I haven't bothered her for two years as I really didn't want any contact with her. I figured it had been put to bed and I'd let the contract run out but then I read in the newspaper that she's lambasting me again which I don't appreciate," said Cuozzo. "I think she can't accept she had a lot to do with losing that fight because she didn't follow the damn instructions."

Cuozzo, who has been involved in women's boxing for more than a decade, believes Perozzi is in for a tough ten round battle against 20-year-old middleweight Hammer who is undefeated after seven fights.

That Hammer will have home advantage further stacks the odds in her favour although Cuozzo has not ruled out Perozzi pulling of a surprise victory.

"(Hammer) has the edge in Germany because it's her home crowd but Perozzi has nothing to lose and everything to gain," Cuozzo said. "No question about it, they may have a funeral out there (if Perozzi wins).

"It's not impossible, even though the odds are stacked against her.

"There's also an age difference to overcome and Perozzi's also coming off a two-year lay off which doesn't help.

"But if she stops worrying about everything else and works on what needs to be done on then who knows what can happen."

Hammer's promoters – the same team behind Russian steamroller Ragosina – have high hopes for their young, attractive, marketable fighter. And according to Cuozzo she has more potential than Ragosina, who is the top female ranked super middleweight in the world.

"(Hammer) can punch, has more power than Ragosina, but she's still developing and that's what you want at this stage of her career," he said.

"I think Perozzi's in for a very tough fight. I saw the tape from her last fight against Cimberly Harris and she didn't look too good.

"She's going to have to really improve on her conditioning and get some really good sparring in and she won't get that in Bermuda.

"If Perozzi takes it to the bell though there's a chance she's going to lose."

Should Perozzi open up Hammer's loss column then Cuozzo is certain there will be several money-spinning fights on the horizon for the 36-year-old Bermudian.

"Even though we're at odds I have to say that Perozzi does have skill.

"If she goes out there and fights like she fought against (Asa) Sandell then something very good can happen. But sometimes I think she just sets herself up in her mind to lose," he said.

"I'll be interested in the fight. I'd like to know how it goes. If she wins then God bless her but if she loses who will take the heat on this win because she can't blame me.

"If she sours this fight she will not get these big fights anymore. But if she goes over there and beats her they will want her back within three months to defend that belt against Hammer. I'm sure that's in the contract."

Perozzi's matchup against Hammer will be her second fight in three months having ended her two-year hiatus with a points win over American Harris at Berkeley Gym in July.
