A pretty good fight. You can’t really blame either of these two ladies for this decision – they were trying and they left it all out there. Both were absolutely exhausted by the end of this one. Budd came out stronger in the first, then it was back and forth for a while, then Porto took over around the 4th or so and laid a bit of a beating on Budd. Decision probably went the right way here, but a good brawl none the less.

A pretty good fight. You can’t really blame either of these two ladies for this decision – they were trying and they left it all out there. Both were absolutely exhausted by the end of this one. Budd came out stronger in the first, then it was back and forth for a while, then Porto took over around the 4th or so and laid a bit of a beating on Budd. Decision probably went the right way here, but a good brawl none the less.
