This was a close, very neat fight. Every round was the same. Kedzie came out strong, beat on Herrig until she was tired, then Herrig fought back, having a ton more stamina than Kedzie. In the end, Herrig did more damage, but I guess Kedzie’s initial aggression early in the rounds won over the judges. Either way, I don’t think the judges could have got this one wrong. Both fighters earned the win, but only 1 could have it. I liked it.

This was a close, very neat fight. Every round was the same. Kedzie came out strong, beat on Herrig until she was tired, then Herrig fought back, having a ton more stamina than Kedzie. In the end, Herrig did more damage, but I guess Kedzie’s initial aggression early in the rounds won over the judges. Either way, I don’t think the judges could have got this one wrong. Both fighters earned the win, but only 1 could have it. I liked it.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
