Maycee Barber Gets Back To Her Winning Ways
3 years agoWe could not have asked for a closer women's flyweight battle on Saturday, with Maycee Barber (9-2) in dire need of a win to prevent a three-fight losing streak. She pulled off a split-decision win over fellow young prospect Miranda Maverick. Statistically, Barber's strike count was lower, only landing 36 significant strikes (38 total strikes) in 15 minutes of action. Barber scored a few strikes and a takedown at crucial points during the round that may have given her the nod in the judges' eyes. Many could argue that Maverick won the matchup, but Barber came out victorious.
