Like those body shots. Aldana might get a finish if she keeps pace.

Aldana looks sharp. Melo knows she doesn't have 3 hard rounds in her so she's just looking for a kill shot. Not likely against Aldana.

Aldana is looking excellent and I'm loving that dig to the body, beautiful shot.
She is up against a walking punch bag but still, credit to her for putting it on her. I see a TKO if this continues

Aldana is good, but she needs to mix up her head strike combinations more. It's always just jabs setting up an overhand/ double straight.

Melo is tough and hanging in winging but I’d like to see Aldana be able to turn this up and finish a fight like this.

I think she can finish her if she just puts together a good body shot followed with an overhand right combo but she's playing it smart.

I think Aldana and Grasso have the best pure boxing in all the women's divisions. Can't think of others who use the jab so well and mix it up to the body.  
Who else?  Just boxing

Aldana is so inconsistent, but wow when she performs like that she looks like a title contender.
