It’s interesting reading this topic on how to handle such a situation and everybody’s views on it. But to me it’s more political then it has anything to do with the fight itself or fighters involved. For me it’s about a major srew up by a SB and “if” and “how” to fix it. More of an interesting study case on how to prevent and handle future screw up's.

But as said before. I really enjoyed the fight itself. My personal outcome was the same in Gorichem as it was at home with my DVD. I would have given the first 2 rounds to Mary and the last 3 to Soumia. So to me Soumia should have won the fight in the first place. (And I think the better part of the audience present had the same impression). But since the fight is available on DVD there is no need to discuss this. Everybody interested can watch and judge him/her self. I can only say, it’s worth buying the DVD because it was a great fight
even though both girls where poorly prepared. (Mary a short notice replacement with a long leave of absence from fighting, and Soumia just back from a Bangkok film shooting)

I’m looking forward to a rematch and hope it will be setup soon. Think a fully prepared Mary vs. a fully prepared Soumia can make the audience a big winner.
To me both are very much "worthy" being a World Champion.
