Watch the Han-Holm fight. Holm got robbed. She won the fight. Unfortunately it was in Hans home town. Holm threw and landed more punches including power shot. It was a ridiculous homer decision. Boxing needs panels to review stupid decisions like this. Han did mostly 10 rounds of pawing jabs. Horrible decision!
