Its hard to know how to fight Germaine; shes got so many weapons, fast twitch fibers, a wicked hi rd house, a killer left hook, a knee that can reach an upright 5' 10" fighter's head, great hand speed and boxing skills...etc
I have to think Julie's athleticism, abilty to move in all directions and being SMART enough NOT to stand relatively immobile and directly in front of Germaine made her competitive.
also not being afaid of Germaine had to help her stay relaxed, and able to react and move quickly.
Germaine off?? I disagree; she was just an inevitable victim of unrealistically high expectations after a series of spectacular Ko's of strong opponents. Others have also taken Germaine the distance including 5' 2" Asako Saioka.
It has been my experience, (no more subjective than many judges) that Lopsided Scores dont always prove it was a lopsided fight. 50-45 means nothimg to me-excpet Germaiube probably desreved the win. I doubt it was physically in thwe ring all that lopsided.
I wont argue with purists who demand scrupulous conformity and universal judging/scorinbg standards...(even if they whipped the entire world into shape, and got them, judges would inevitably differ and the scoring complaints would continue unabated)
Congrats to Julie and Germaine and Dennis for a great show!!
