Dang. Coenen absolutely dominated round 1, and was doing well in round 2 as well. Then Murphy got a few clean shots in and 1 of them was a flash-KO for the finish. I was hoping to see how this unfolded deeper into the fight, as Coenen was still steadily chipping away at Murphy, but Murphy is tough and was trying to work her way through it.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
