Okay. Two major comments here. 1) this was a fight I was going to take off Zenith because it wasn;t “Zenithy”. Mostly, all that kept it here was the rankings of the fighters and the need for having more women on the card. But they both fought well and made the fight worth having here. IN my opinion at least.
2) The fight itself - Based on how our judges are SUPPOSED to be judging these fights, this is a BRUTAL decision. JUST. FUCKING. BRUTAL. When you take the entire fight into account, Zoila did a truck-ton of damage and offence. But...it was all in the last round. They both went back and forth well throughout the first chunk of the fight, but Randa was definitely the aggressor, doing aggressive things. Often failing miserably too, but trying. Judges are supposed to score this fight on the overall fight, and overall Zoila was far more effective, accurate, offensive, and damaging than Randa. A very disappointing result to a decent fight.
Randa Markos looks very relaxed.
This is the first time they meet inside the cage

Okay. Two major comments here. 1) this was a fight I was going to take off Zenith because it wasn;t “Zenithy”. Mostly, all that kept it here was the rankings of the fighters and the need for having more women on the card. But they both fought well and made the fight worth having here. IN my opinion at least.
2) The fight itself - Based on how our judges are SUPPOSED to be judging these fights, this is a BRUTAL decision. JUST. FUCKING. BRUTAL. When you take the entire fight into account, Zoila did a truck-ton of damage and offence. But...it was all in the last round. They both went back and forth well throughout the first chunk of the fight, but Randa was definitely the aggressor, doing aggressive things. Often failing miserably too, but trying. Judges are supposed to score this fight on the overall fight, and overall Zoila was far more effective, accurate, offensive, and damaging than Randa. A very disappointing result to a decent fight.
lol 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
