I thought Souza would be a little more durable, but Lemos was damn impressive tonight.

Amanda Lemos may just have destroyed my 15 Fight Acca placed with a Free £5.00 from the kind Bookie, William Hill and removed any chance of me making an easy £12500 in 1 Night, but WoW... That was super impressive... I didn't know anything about her before this particular fight, but her Striking was on point, her cage IQ was on point, her distance control and overall control of her opponent was on point... Nobody does that to Livinha Souza, but Amanda Lemos just wiped the floor with her and made it look Super Easy 🤑👏👏🤔🧐💯🥊👊👍

Pumped to watch Sean Brady next. He has looked complete and should wreck Matthews
