November 30 - Sister Maria Lopez of the Unholy Ass Whooping

Marta Consuela Guadalupe Santiago lost her right eye at the age of five when her older brother Oscar snagged it while casting a fishing line from the pier at the edge of their village in Cuba. The local doctor, a rumpled and flirtatious octogenarian named Hector Domingo replaced it with a lump of smooth black glass.
When she was 15, Marta's family crossed over to Miami. Like her brothers Oscar and Angel, Marta enrolled in Little Havana's Blessed Sister of the Guadalupe High School on forged documents. Thus, Marta Consuela Guadalupe Santiago became Maria Lopez.
And it was under that name that, caving to her mother's constant pressure, she joined the convent that was connected to her high school after graduation.
She stayed with the convent until she was 28.
While traveling with some of the other sisters in the Midwest, Maria went to a carnival where she saw a wrestling match featuring former Catholic priest Seamus O'Shaughnessy, aka Furious Father Seamus, the Catholic Catastrophe. The raw physicality of the match lit a fire in Maria that had never been sparked by the church. Shortly after returning to Miami, she told her mother that she had decided to leave the convent to become a boxer, and she fought professionally for more than 15 years.
Feared by all contenders in the Southeast States Women's Boxing Commission for her deadly right hook and ominous black glass eye, Maria won the women's middleweight belt four times.
Although she finished her career with an impressive 57 wins (32 by knockout) and 21 losses, Maria is best remembered as having more nicknames than any other woman in professional boxing history:
The Eye of the Hurricane.
The Cuban Boxing Crisis.
Senora Ciclope.
The Eye of the Tigress.
The Twisted Sister.
The Right Hook from the Good Book.
Right Eye Lopez.
Miami Spice.
The Eyeatollah of Espanola.
The Brown Widow.
The Sister of No Mercy.
The Eye of God with the Right Hook from Hell.
The Havana Nightmare.
And the one that stuck, Sister Maria Lopez of the Unholy Ass Whooping.
Upon retiring from boxing in 2007, she returned to Blessed Sister of the Guadalupe to teach PE and coach the girls' boxing program.
State Champs three years running.
