(MAR 24) Last night at the

winning by a fourth round RTD when Harper did not come out for
the fourth round. The two were fighting for the WBO

ferocious attack from the opening bell, unloading a string of
hurtful combinations and Harper was pulled out of the fight by
her corner before the start of the fourth round.”
The victory marked a significant
milestone in Ryan's career. Ryan's relentless pressure and
precise combinations seemed to overwhelm her opponent from the
opening bell. With each passing round, it became evident that
Harper was struggling to match Ryan's speed and power.
