Tony Loiseleur: Lovato did well, I thought. It's unfortunate that the bout was only two rounds as Windy was huffing and puffing by the end of it. She didn't look like she was falling apart due to cardio, but you'd never know if there would have been a third round. Certainly though, she and Windy had a great, fun fight this evening.
