Valentina is starting to come on strong, if she keeps going for TD's she'll win

Holm's gotta finish. Been fighting Schevchenko's fight the last 3 rounds, which is a fantastic way to lose.

Holly needs a finish or a dominant round for a draw at the very least imo

I don't really know how to score this one, but I sure know how Rogan did.

49-46 for me but the last round was close, might be 48-47

48-47 or 49-46 Shevchenko, there's no way Holm won this one.

49-46 Shevchenko

Great fight. I love fights like this, where its a striking chess match. Valentina looked great, she'd beat Nunes in a five rounder.

What did they tell Holm in the corner? I mean, she did the exact same crap fro the last 4 rounds and it didn't work at all in any round. Did they even tell her to adjust anything? I didn't hear anything if they did. It seemed obvious that Holm was the stronger fighter in the clinch. After losing the third by having Schevchenko on top of her, she should've looked to take down Schevchenko. Feel like Holly's top game could've dominated this fight, but she chose to do the same crap that was losing her rounds the entire fight.

I scored it for Shevchenko I think the judges got it right.

I've got it 3rounds to one for Shevchenko. Holm is coming up short with most of her punches and Shevechenko seems to be landing the harder punches as well.

I'm a few minutes delayed on the fight in case you were wondering  LOL. But I have it 4-1 for Shevchenko. Was a great fight. Holm seemed extremely tentative after the firs round and couldn't shake it. Everything was short and every time she did try to close the distance she walked into a right by Shevchenko.
