Now that’s just too bad. Megumi was controlling this fight pretty well up until the 4th round, where her conditioning became a factor. Unfortunately, at that point, the tables turned slightly, then, like a rolling stone (the metaphor, not the band), things just continued to spin out of control for Megumi, who lost the last round convincingly, before getting tapped at the very end of the round. Good, calculating fight by both fighters.

Now that’s just too bad. Megumi was controlling this fight pretty well up until the 4th round, where her conditioning became a factor. Unfortunately, at that point, the tables turned slightly, then, like a rolling stone (the metaphor, not the band), things just continued to spin out of control for Megumi, who lost the last round convincingly, before getting tapped at the very end of the round. Good, calculating fight by both fighters.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
