The match was fought, and what a match it was! Tightly close for most of the duration with no more than a 1-point lead until the final round!

Matthew took the opening round with a high kick, but Mira tied it up the next round. From that point on it flexed between Mira with a 1-point lead or a tie, as Matthew consistently closed the lead but never managed to overtake her. Finally in Round 12 Mira was able to counter a punch from Matthew and claim victory.
