So Gurgel was doing her “I’m going to let my opponent tire herself out and find my opening” thing, but Bec did not tire out nor leave any openings, so Gurgel got hammered. She was in it for most of it, because her defence is good, but those last 2 rounds were kinda brutal. 113 thrown strikes? Ouch.
