Steve Lawson: And Ana Garcia, advances to the second round by way of judges decision!

Mike Calloway: Wow, I actually believe that Soled was winning this fight, but credit to Ana for coming back at the end and credit to both fighters for withstanding 20 grueling minutes of action.

Steve Lawson: That's what happens when the judges are asked to judge a fight not per round, but by which fighter is trying to finish the fight and towards the end Ana was definately trying to finish the fight. She has to be glad that this will be her only fight tonight, but two weeks from now she won't be as lucky, as the finalists will fight not once, not twice, but THREE times in one night.
