I liked the explaining of getting rid of 10 point must system. In baseball if you score 0 runs in the 1st inning and 24 runs in the 2nd inning you have 24 runs. The score isn’t 1-1

Man, Joana looked like Quasimodo after this fight. She had second forehead on her forehead and than this hit that rearranged her nose, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I think this is why Zhang was awarded the match. Just BRUTAL.

Respect for both these women, they’ll both feel this fight for a while.
