Thanks for the update – will there be more during the fight?
Are there any more updates on the Tori Nelson fight?
A draw?
The next best result to a win!
Two great competitors.
Great sportsmanship by two great opponents–
Amazing to see Teresa Perozzi in action tonight against a very strong and tenacious American fighter. A 10 round fight. One judge (the Bermudian judge) had Perozzi win 97-93 I think it was; both other judges had it 95-95 so it ended in a draw.
Any news on Jeron gunness kickboxing fight
I personally think Teresa won out right, her technique from foot work, delivery and movement was wayy better
I was so impressed by the quality of the fighting. There were no losers last night. Every one of these fighters gave 101%!!! Perozzi was definitely prepared! Hats off to her and all the fighters, their family, their trainers, the promoters, the sponsors and all of those individuals that gave up their own time and money to give us all something to be proud of!
Well done Tori should have kick her bot though!!!
Congratulations Theresa, you broke her record and still retained your belt..mission accomplished!!
Well done Teresa on retaining your title! ” Proud to be a Bermudian”
Sorry 2 see the look on Tori Nelson face when Teresa was able 2 retain her title. From 1 boxer 2 the next Nelson deserved the win. Always proud 2 b bermudian but I’m not blind
Um with you there! I was rooting for Teresa and this was the best I have seen her fight but I thought Nelson was the aggressor for most of the fight and landed more solid blows. richmond should have his eyesight checked.LOL
Guess you don’t believe that it was not a draw as you have seen fit not to allow my posts. Check with an authority like maybe Teresa or one of the officials. I will accept your apology after you do.
LOL! With all due respect, we will never apologize for accurate reporting. It was a draw, and that information came directly from the officials.
