In their ten-round fight, Olivia Curry had a world-class chin, but the top super middleweight contender landed a ton of leather. Curry’s profile rose in loss as Green left with a ten-round unanimous decision victory on the undercard of the Jake Paul-Nate Diaz headlined DAZN/ESPN+/PPV.com Pay-Per-View event Saturday from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
In the second round, Green landed a right hand, which Curry took well and countered with a combination. Later, the 33-year-old former high school and college basketball star retaliated with a left hook and a right uppercut, the latter of which was more powerful. Curry threw out her hands, not always landing them deeply enough to signal that she wouldn’t capitulate under pressure.
