Mangles Taylor!

a scheduled four-round bout.
See
round one!
..
Mendez was coming off a close six-round majority
decision win over Christina Ruiz of San Antonio on
June 17th.
Taylor came into the match undefeated at 2-0, with 1
KO, most recently taking a unanimous four-round
decision over Jasmine Patton in Bay St. Louis

evenly matched and remained extremely cautious
