ROUND 1
Hollie Dunaway starts rather aggressively. Regina seems to feel the weight
of her punches, for she keeps her distance, but it’s clear that the real
fight hasn’t started yet.
ROUND 2
Hollie takes the initiative again, she is very quick on her feet and moves
around a lot using all the space in the ring. Regina counters effectively
and finds her mark more often, though she hasn’t completely adapted to
Dunaway’s aggressive style yet.
ROUND 3
Halmich ventures to get closer now and clearly takes control. At 1’16” in
the round, she hits her opponent with a very nice left hook.
ROUND 4
Dunaway keeps on trying, reaching Halmich’s face from time to time but quite
often missing. She moves very fast but consumes a lot of energy this
way. Regina keeps the fight under control countering nicely using mainly
left jabs, hooks and body shots.
ROUND 5
Halmich immediately moves forward now, and does no longer seem very
impressed with Hollie’s skills. Halfway through the round, she repeatedly
hits her with her left hook. The fight is interrupted for about 15
seconds when Dunaway loses her mouth piece. (After the fight, Regina will
say that this was probably a trick to gain some time).
In the final moments, Hollie absorbs another series of punches to the head.
After this round, the televiewers can hear Hollie’s cornermen tell her to
keep up her hands, otherwise she’ll run into difficulties. A sound piece of
advice indeed.
ROUND 6
Regina continues to demonstrate her superior skills. She’s far more
effective and uses her energy more sparingly.
ROUND 7
There’s not a lot of action in the opening minute, but then Regina comes
through with her left hook again. She dominates the rest of the round as
well.
ROUND 8
Dunaway shows less and less resistance now. She keeps moving a lot, but
Halmich keeps landing solid combinations, especially targeting Hollie’s
head.
ROUND 9
There are quite a few exchanges, both fighters throwing an equal amount of
punches, but Regina’s being far more effective.
ROUND 10
Hollie attempts one more time to impose herself, but her attacks look a bit
clumsy, for she’s clearly getting tired. In the second part of the round,
Regina gives her some more punishment.
RESULT: Regina Halmich wins by unanimous decision

Bernd Andreasen (Denmark): 99-91
Arno Pokrant (Germany): 98-92
Hollie Dunaway, looking stunning in her pink sports bra and silver-white
skirt, showed that she has both the heart and the mind of a true warrior,
she kept trying incessantly but she clearly hasn’t (yet) got the experience
to beat someone like Halmich. She managed to put her under certain pressure
at times, but never had her in any sort of trouble.
Immediately after the bout, Regina thanks the audience but also her opponent
for giving her such a good fight. She adds that she admires Hollie’s
courage.
In an interview afterwards, Dunaway readily concedes her defeat. When asked
what she thinks of a rematch between Halmich and Reid, she says that with
both fighters having learned from the experience, she expects the second
confrontation to be even better than the first. |
