　Ali, the first female boxer from Somalia who has been attracting a lot of attention as a female boxer from Somalia and was considered a potential world title challenger, suffered a painful KO loss.

　Ali boxed with a careful distance and left jab, which she learned from Manny Robles Sr. However, Guzman quickly piled on her left with a straight right hand. Clearly, hers strategy was to break Ali's jab, first if she felt the initial movement of Ali's jab, and after he dodged it if she let the jab come out. She would match this strong right hand either first or second, confusing Ali.

　After getting her instructions at the interval, Ali increased her tempo to one-two straight from a fast step and then a left and right hook, but Guzman was able to land a solid right hand in the gap. Although Ali is definitely faster in terms of apparent speed, Guzman's uniquely timed right hand is really effective. Guzman landed her first right hand, forcing Ali to look down, and then followed it up with another right hand.

　Then came the fourth round. Guzman caught Ali's eye with a series of weaves and suddenly hit her cleanly with a right hand, knocking her to the ground. In the fifth round, Guzman accelerated her tempo and landed a one-two. In the fifth round, Ali accelerated her tempo and hit a one-two. She then hit Guzman with a one-two at the end of a right hand, almost turning the tide.
　However, at the end of the round, Guzman's right hand hit Ali, who inadvertently threw a right hand. Ali unexpectedly fell to her backside.

　Still insatiably determined to win, Ali moved into range in the sixth round and landed a series of sharp one-twos. In the sixth round, Guzman's upper eyes began to redden and swell, and her mouth began to bleed.

　The overall flow of the fight was Guzman, and it was Ali who inflicted the damage on the surface. In the seventh round, Guzman switched from her one-sided right hand attack to a left hook attack. She's double left hook to the face was exquisite.

　Then came the eighth round, and Guzman drew Ali's full attention with a left hook to the body attack. Ali tries to return with three left jabs followed by a left hook. Guzman waited for her, and then landed a left hook from the inside. Ali was counted out by referee Keith Hughes at the count of ten.
