Kinda surprised Davis couldn’t finish LaRosa, given the neglect LaRosa has going on, but she is still a solid defensive fighter, it seems. This was a gruelling fight, and both women were exhausted near the end, and no damage was done after about the 3rd or 4th round.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
