It was smart to pick Grasso over Barber because Grasso is a a more technical fighter and has faces tougher competition at strawweight.

If Barber had fought like she did in the third round she likely would have gotten a TKO lol, she just came in punching air and tentative. That was a good fight by Grasso though, she's looking good. Might be the next sacrificial lamb for Valentina soon.

I don't blame you; I also picked Barber to win by tko in the first place then, I remembered she is mostly a brawler so I switched to Grasso.

I dont see any way this is boring. Even if it goes 5. Both guys have so many moves, it'll be tense til it's over.

Yeah, it was Barber's fight to lose. Grasso is a boring point fighter through and through that is going nowhere because the girls above her are better.
