Wow. What a controversial decision! Fuji came closer in the 5th to finishing the fight than Joanne did anywhere else in the fight. That is basically what our judges are supposed to judge the fight on. But 2 of the 3 felt Joanne’s work throughout the first 4 gave her the whole fight. Very interesting.
