Iggy Azalea had a nightmare here today. She should be ashamed of her performance in this fight. Hang your head in shame and leave this arena. (10 points)
Not a bad show by Federica Pellegrini today. No doubt her hard core fans will be happy with her efforts. If she continues to show off her cleavage and her legs, I think she'll draw in even more fans. (73 points)
Not a bad fight, but there were times when I would have rather watched Federica and Iggy kissing than fighting.
