Yes I think that has to be taken into consideration. Having a wife a two daughters I can tell you that fighting while on the rag must be both painful and tiresome. I bet she was glad not to have fought Cruz from the Serrano fight; she went non stop punching for all 12 rounds...even bleeding from that cut in her head.
Cruz showed a lot of heart, possibly cloud of won without the cut. I thought both these fights might of been stopped earlier in UK
Her stamina is okay. Her undisputed status is disputable though—I had Mayer winning the fight and had it a draw when I really tried to score for Gardner.
