Last night Fight Girls premiered the Michelle Waterson vs. Ardra Hernandez fight. Ardra Hernandez has a wealth of experience in Muay Thai, so going into the fight, Michelle Waterson was the clear underdog. The fight opened up with a lot of emotional tension - the girls clearly had a friendship bond between them that was getting in the way of throwing down.. After some patty caking, Michelle opened the fight up with a solid right hand punch to break the tension.
For the majority of the fight, Michelle was on the defense… Michelle threw a few nice punches in the first and second round, but was clearly overpowered by Ardra Hernandez’s no stop attack. Michelle Waterson managed to pull off a nice thai clench in the third, and had some knees while in the clench, but to all of our disappointment, she was unable to steal the round. Ardra ended up winning with a unanimous decision, and clearly deserved the win. This fight was a great stepping stone for Michelle, and will offer invaluable experience for this young fighter.
