Thunder MMA trained Tinika Vilares, from Elsburg, recently made her boxing ring debut and showcased her skills at Junkyard Promotions\u2019 white-collar boxing event, Box Berg 1.<\/p>\n
She faced Bianca Barnard from Junkyard MMA, who was also making her boxing debut, in her bout.<\/p>
Heading into the bout, Vilares was 2.5kg heavier and had a significant height advantage over Barnard, who had only been training for a little over a month before the fight, but this did not matter to the two fighters and they gave it their all from start to finish.<\/p>\n
The women battled it out through each of the bout\u2019s three rounds, holding nothing back and each landing powerful blows on their opponents, with no knock out taking place.<\/p>
In the GCN\u2019s previous article on this bout, it was stated that Vilares won the encounter. This is, however, incorrect.<\/p>\n
As it was a white-collar boxing event there were no winners.<\/p>\n
The GCN apologises for any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n
