"It's time to separate the men from the boys!"

This should be the buzzwords when the world's sexiest and loveliest female ring announcer-- Amy Hayes-- takes charge of the action on December 2 for the blockbuster "Payback" card at the Big Dome.

Hayes, acknowledged as boxing's most successful female ring announcer and the first woman announcer to do a world title fight and the first to sign an exclusive contract with a major US television network, is very close to sealing a deal with Third Force Promotion for her to announce the fights on December 2, according to promoter Noli Eala.

"I have already held initial talks with Hayes' manager, and we're close to making a deal for her to come over," said Eala.

A certified looker who has graced the pages of Maxim and Playboy magazines, Hayes traces her roots in Kentucky but lives in Lexington.

"I was a left handed short stop and third baseman making the All Star team most seasons.
My middle name Faye is after my moms only sister - Faye Kemp who died of Cancer. Tale of the Tape 36-25-36," says Hayes, who was master of ceremonies in the Oscar De la Hoya-Bernard Hopkins simulcast, in her personal website.

"Payback" will feature the first ring appearance of Rey 'Boom Boom" Bautista after his shock loss at the hands of WBO superbantam champ Daniel Ponce De Leon this August at the World Cup.

Bautista, the heavy-handed fighter from Tagbilaran City, Bohol, will take on Mexican Antonio Meza in defense of his WBO Intercontinental superbantam crown.

Organizers are planning to set up big screens inside the Big Dome so fans can also watch Nonito Donaire's title defense against Luis Maldonado on the same day in Connecticut.

Also lined up to see action in the "Payback" card are undefeated fighters AJ Banal and Milan Milendo, while RP champs Michael Domingo and Rocky Fuentes are also included against separate opponents.
