(APR 19) In the opening bout on April 17th, Dominga Olivo, now 8-5-1 of New York upset hometown girl Nathalie Forget, now 2-1 of Montreal in convincing fashion earning a 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56 unanimous decision victory in a six round Featherweight fight. Olivo dominated the fight outclassing the former Canadian National amateur champion Forget throughout all six rounds.

 In the first round both women traded leather in close trying to establish their jabs and were each able to land effective combinations. Olivo however was able to land the better punches in the exchanges.

In rounds two and three Olivo picked up the pace throwing more punches especially the uppercut and right hook to the head. Olivo was able to loop her hard right in around Forget’s guard at will which stunned Forget more and more as the rounds progressed. Forget was able to counter punch but they were few and far between.

Olivo continued to batter Forget with hard left and right hooks to the body and by the end of the round had created a huge welt and swelling over Forget’s right eye. In the sixth round Olivo never let up on Forget and continued to pepper her with solid combinations to the head in body and Nathalie seemed to have no answer to the onslaught.
