I thought Shevchenko won rounds 2, 3, and 4. Especially rounds 3 and 4. I don’t get why the commentators always say they don’t know who’s winning what rounds when it’s kind of obvious. Oh well…
Valentina’s finger. Ouch!
Nuñez was very offensive but unsuccessful since Valentina has a very good defense and fast counter attack. The better punches and kicks came from Valentina who successfully used the superman punch in several occasions. I fully agree that the fight was very close but in my opinion Valentina was the winner because displayed better techniques that Nuñez during the whole fight.
below average fight … very close though
