"Nunez made a great showing, she was very busy in every round. The
fight was a real crowd pleaser, lots of action and very
entertaining. Both fighters boxing techniques were outstanding, they
fought hard and furious every round. Nunez was there to fight and
stood strong against Hernandez exchanging blows."

the war of the wills. This fight raised the bar in female
