Outside, it would have been necessary to do a little more “, before bringing some comments on the physiognomy of the fight:” Victory loses quite clearly two of the first three rounds, then the fight balances. Worthington surprised us defensively, she was a little better than in previous fights. But victory really raises the tone from the sixth. She loses the seventh, but then, it is a demonstration, Worthington goes physically. Unlike the American, my daughter has the experience of the ten rounds ”. A remarkable performance for the left -hander which could be opened doors in the future.
