Masami Nagasawa vs Vivian Hsieh

R1: Vivian has been on a streak of losses, but that doesn’t stop her from swarming Nagasawa from the outset. Masami has trouble fending off Hsieh’s swarm of attacks, and has to concede the round by a wide margin to the tornado-like fury of Hsieh.

R2: Masami finds her footing, and mounts a good defense by walling up, but that doesn’t completely stop Vivian from getting a few punches through. Her furious flurry is such that even with Masami completely focused on defense, a few punches find their way through.

R3: Vivian continues to punish the Japanese girl for walling up and taking a defensive approach, taking another round from her and a larger lead.

R4: Nagasawa pushes back with an offense of her own, punishing Vivian’s aggressive approach with punches to the tits and ribs. Briefly pushed back, Vivian tries to back off to regroup, but Masami does not let her, her pursuit of the Taiwanese girl swift and close. The fight devolves into a brawl as Vivian gives up trying to rally and resumes her aggression, meeting Nagasawa punch for punch and pound for pound, but the Japanese woman has the day, taking the round by a thin margin.

R5: Vivian is the more powerful of the two, and in their continued brawling in the fifth round, her strength wins out over Masami’s technique. Methodically cracking her guard - well, if you can count brute forth as a method - she opens the Japanese woman’s face for reconstruction, which she completes in the second minute with a combo to the face, first sinking a fist into Masami’s belly to lower her guard, then cracking her across the head with a hook to send her down for ten.

Winner: Vivian Hsieh via KO5!
