Fight number two on the cards was between Rebecca Maxwell (Gladiators Gym) and Becky Cotten (Darlington Martial Arts Academy). This fight started with a good exchange of punches and Rebecca being
able to deliver 3 take downs in round one, while Becky got in some strong low round house kicks. Round two was very even to me. But the third round saw Rebecca take control of the fight with some good low kicks of her own. Round four, both fighters came out like bulls, however Rebecca always looked heavier and taller than Becky and in the end helped her to a win.
