Victory in Birmingham
In a spirited showdown held in Birmingham, England, former UFC fighter Molly McCann achieved another victory in her boxing career, defeating Ebonie Cotton by a narrow margin on points. The bout, which spanned six rounds, concluded with the score of 58-56 in favor of McCann, bringing her professional record to 2-0, including one knockout.
Fight Highlights
From the outset, McCann showcased her striking prowess, effectively utilizing quick combinations. However, Cotton’s elusive tactics made it challenging for McCann to maintain consistent pressure. Throughout the fight, McCann’s left hook became a significant weapon, posing a continuous threat to her opponent.
Despite encountering adversity—including a cut that opened on the top of her head during Round 4—Cotton exhibited resilience and aggression, fighting back with powerful jabs and maintaining a forward momentum. As the match wore on, both fighters began to show signs of fatigue, grappling at times and even hitting the canvas during the action.
Conclusion
The match remained intense from the opening bell to the final whistle, embodying the determination and heart of both competitors. Ultimately, McCann demonstrated enough skill and stamina to secure the win. This bout follows her impressive debut in professional boxing last September, where she knocked out Kate Radomska in the sixth round in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Following a successful MMA career with 14 fights in the UFC, McCann officially transitioned to boxing this year after announcing her retirement from mixed martial arts in March.
