Career
Draine stands 5 feet eight inches (68 inches) tall, making her relatively tall for a boxer of her weight. Draine"s nicknames are "Hurricane" and "The Spokane Spike". The latter nickname reflects the city she currently resides at.
Her first professional fight came on May 14, 1997, when she defeated Dolores Lira by a four round decision, at Worley.
After she beat the experienced Sue Chase in her fifth fight, she and her management team thought she was ready for a world title try, so, on November 12, she challenged Theresa Arnold for the International Business Alliance"s women"s version of the world Bantamweight title. She lost that fight by a ten round split decision.
She is a boxer who often jumps from one division to another, so she returned to the Bantamweight division. Despite losing her next fight, she got a world title try in her first fight at as a Super Bantamweight: On April 18, 1999, she and Silke Weikenmeyer fought for the vacant WIBF Super Bantamweight title.
In what was Draine"s first overseas fight, she lost a ten round decision in Germany.
Draine kept fighting well known female boxers after losing that fight: she beat Robin Pinto, lost to Yvonne Caples, drew (tied) with Marylin Salcedo, and beat Bridgett Riley before receiving another world title shot. On December 18, 2002, she and Salcedo were rematched, with the vacant IFBA world Super Flyweight title on the line. Draine has had one more fight after that, but she remains, on record anyway, active as a professional boxer.
Her career record is of 13 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw, with two knockout wins.
