She was more difficult in the sense she was holding and a bit rough on the inside. That was new for me. I’m not used to people holding. “I thought I would finish it in the later rounds. I knew I would break her down. I was just aiming for her body for the first few rounds because I wanted to break her body down so I could open her up to the head, and that’s exactly what we did. That’s what our plan was. “By the third round I already had her hands dropping from going to the body and then that’s why that right hand was landing.
