A pretty good fight that was pretty much all Meisha until the later rounds. She became completely and utterly exhausted and was unable to do any meaningful damage to finish the fight. During that time, Jennifer recovered quite a bit, and was able to do a bit of damage herself. Quite unfortunate conditioning was a factor in this one.
