This started as a D’Alelio fight, but after the first round, Budd would have none of that nonsense, and put together a strong offensive game to take over the fight.
Phoenix made a point to me before this fight that D’Alelio’s total accuracy was outstanding, and that was definitely true in this case as well, until she got clocked HARD a few times near the end. At that point, there was a direct relationship between Sarah’s landing accuracy and damage taken. She started the fight in the high 80s for punching, then it dropped as she was getting battered at the end.
Decent fight.
