The fight

PUBLICITY:

By straw weight (up to 52,1 kg), Elise Reed won Jessica penne by unanimous decision of the judges (29-28, 29-28,29-28). The fighter managed to prevent Penne from taking the fight to the ground and managed the fight with great patience.

The first round was very tight against the fence, with Penne trying to take Reed down. At the last minute, the referee separated the two from the fence, and both tried a few strikes. Penne landed two jabs while Reed tried to respond with a high kick, but to no avail. In the second round, Penne continued to try to grab Reed, who managed to get away as best he could. Halfway through the round, Reed landed a left cross on Penne, who 'picked up the pieces'. The accurate strike gave confidence to the taekwondo specialist, who managed to keep the distance with kicks and knees.

Clearly tired, Penne did little in the third round. Reed managed to manage by landing some jabs and long-range kicks. Without pulling a rabbit out of her hat, Penne became an easy target and suffered with a series of punches in the final stretch, but was 'saved by the bell'. Even so, frustrated for not being able to take the fight to the ground, Penne saw her opponent win by unanimous decision of the judges.
