Really good fight. Both went all-out here. Stamina for both was completely depleted (Daly had a tiny bit more, and eventually that made the difference, but it wasn’t much). It was just enough to put everything into the finishing punch(es) and get the semi-flash KO for the win.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
