Media Shevchenko got scratched in the nose by Grasso

[StewDogg11]

Meh, in terms of numbers she outstuck her, but Grasso was landing the better punches and won on every judge's scorecard. She wasn't winning the standup

Shevchenko was up 29-28 at the time of the stoppage.

Valentina had been declining way before this fight, it’s called getting older. She got too comfortable and happy being a decision machine. Happy that Grasso beat her, no excuses can be made.

Val is not a decision machine. She has finished Peña, Cachoeira, Eye, Chookagian, Andrade and Murphy.

She got scratched on her nose??
Who the fuck cares??

Next you're gonna tell me she stubbed her toe walking into the cage

She never got outstruck. I dont understand how this narrative has stuck. She lose a couple exchanges and people lose their minds because she rarely has before.

She was super flustered, very visibly struggling and in a sense resorting to panic wrestling

 

[wolfss]

Define outstruck, Shev land more significant strikes in every round. Grasso had more total strikes but if you watch the fight again I am not even sure how those were counted as most missed...I guess a blocked strike is counted?? But yeah she definitely wasn't out struck but it was surprising to see her struggle with Grasso in the southpaw.

Seems like Valentina came into the fight thinking that she was going to steam roll Alexa. And when she felt the power and pressure she couldn’t handle it. It’s gonna be easier for grasso in the rematch, she’ll just need a little better panic wrestling defense and she’llpick Valentina apart.

The scratch came early in RD 1 and I rewatched the fight do yeah she didn't get punched in the nose before that cut in RD 1

You didn’t watch shit. The cut came from multiple punches to her nose at the end of the first round.

 

[scoobster]

one of the worst female losers of all time, is it so wrong to admit that someone else was better on the night?

 

[drbolony]

The whole I thought that blood in her nose was from the punches but she said that the doctors said after the fight they couldn't put stitches or anything there because it was just a scratch and it ripped some of the skin off

 

[NoSmilez]

She is one of those crazy competitive people. She is getting older though. She can't half ass her training camps anymore.

You didn’t watch shit. The cut came from multiple punches to her nose at the end up the first round.

got em coach

 

[SCTwins]

The gloves can still take some skin off like that.

 

[MigitAs]

Why lol

I mean look at it. It does look like a big scratch and it makes sense because Grasso never hit her on the nose. She hit her on the jaw and the head I believe

Yeah but that’s just one of many excuses she threw out there

 

[Askafan]

Grasso out thought Val and if these excuses are any guide she'll do it again.
