STRAHOVSKI/WINSTEAD The best rivalry going in the FCBA today. Winstead got off to a good start taking the first two rounds. Yvonne then took the next three to take the lead. Winstead evened up the bout by taking round six, but Strahovski regained the lead in round seven. Early in the eighth Winstead dropped Strahovski. Yvonne wasn’t hurt too badly and immediately got back into the fight Late in the round a body assault sent Winstead down. she managed to get to her feet only to be on the receiving end of more punishment than she could handle and she went down the final time for the ten count. Strahovski has just won two bouts in two days. Shades of the GOAT. The great Theron won fights on successive days a number of times and in fact won two fights in one day. Theron and Strahovski “win two bouts in two days club” and they are both blondes I’m not going to research the subject any further

DADDARIO/REFAELI The final fight of the night was a good one. The way I saw it was an active fight with close rounds, but I had Refaeli winning three of the first four rounds. Daddario evened the bout taking rounds five and six. The sixth was a real brawl and I thought Refaeli got the best of it. Daddario would win the ninth, but was far behind and needed a knockout in the tenth to win. Not only did she not get the knockout, she didn’t win the round and the decision went to Refaeli
