Yana Kunitskaya can fight. You don’t get to this level and win four bouts if you can’t. But in recent bouts, Kunitskaya wasn’t fighting the way she was capable of. She played it safe, focused on tactics and point scoring, and while she got a couple wins out of it, it wasn’t anything that got the fight world excited. That changed in 15 minutes last night, as Kunitskaya fought Ketlen Vieira for all three rounds, made it gritty, and the result was a close, but unanimous, decision win. That Yana Kunitskaya we saw on Saturday? I can’t wait to see her fight again.
