“She’s been in with some good girls [like Mikaela Mayer and Alycia Baumgardner] and she’s been the distance with them all, gave a good account of herself. To make her retire in two rounds was obviously satisfying.”

She’s got the experience over me, she’s a good name so I think that would be brilliant for me to have on my resume.
