Both fighters fought like everything was up at stake for the winner. They went blow-for-blow for five rounds.

All the rounds were extremely competitive, and none of the fighters got any significant edge at any point. However, the Black Tiger Fight Club fighter’s shots appeared to do more damage to the Polish fighter’s face.

Weili had success in the pocket. Nonetheless, Jedrzejczyk showed her striking prowess whenever the two had some distance between them.

A big hematoma on the forehead of ‘The Boogeywoman’ perhaps was the difference in the judges scoring the bout for Zhang Weili. She defended the belt via a split decision.
