Martinez had not completely recovered at the beginning of the sixth, and Mack came out to end the fight, which she did late in the round with a right hook that put Martinez down for the count

Pink, then hurt Raymund in the fourth to take a substantial lead. Pink was well on her way to winning the fifth, when Raymund landed a right hook and Pink went down and was unable to beat the count. The result was termed a massive upset. I don’t disagree with that. This is probably the bantam upset of the year.

In the fifth, Utgaard landed a huge right hand and Deeley immediately imitated a carpet for the count of ten

The punching went Meester’s way and McCurdy went down and failed to beat the count.
