Ooooo, the crowd is booing that call – it’s a controversial decision. Barb had rounds 1, 2, and probably 3. So if we scored by rounds, she probably would have gotten it. But in terms of the overall fight, Daly came on strong at the end. But I would say Barb still did more damage over the whole fight. Close fight.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
