Either good or bad, depending on where you stand. 1 hand, she is tough. Other hand, she is taking damage.

Really good fight from two masters here. They used different techniques to wear on each other and do small damages here and there, and both came to the table with good diversified attacks. Both were winning at some point in the fight. But by the end, Yamanaka was absolutely dominating Sarah. To the point where Sarah approached the record for most damage received in a fight. Either good or bad, depending on where you stand. 1 hand, she is tough. Other hand, she is taking damage.
