Randa did a bit more throughout the course of the fight, but Zoila come on really strong at the very end and could have perhaps taken she decision then, as she did more damage overall in that round then Randa did the whole rest of the fight. It’s one of those time of control vs. Damage done things. Randa controlled longer and that mattered to the judges.
