One of my favorite fight videos, I just noticed though how frustrated Barlow was with Lobo. Everybody talks about how Barlow just kept coming at Lobo but Lobo likes that. Barlow's experience and speed made all the difference, she could push Lobo around and back her up but she couldn't make her run from her. Lobo learned a lot and a rematch I think would look a lot different.

Great ambassador for woman's sport. Well done Iman

[@MinotaurvsCyclops]

Maria is a good fighter, but Iman had a good gameplan which gave Maria no space at all - although it looked like a messy fight it was a really good gameplan from Iman. I hope to see them both on this event again. :)

[@diavolo23231]

Iman is so very cute. If I didn't know her from these matches will never cross my mind that such a beauty comes in package with such a force. Good luck in the future for you girl!

[@mattc.8887]

how can you downvote this fight. props to both fighters

[@abcdef-kx2qt]

sylvie von duuglas-ittu MUAY THAI CLINCH needs to be a sparing partner to these girls . lets get sylvie a match up with either of these girls

[@RAvery41]

good action on Iman as Maria Lobo held on and would not let go on the breaks. Showed she was tired and does not have the skill Iman does.

[@user-cy6sn5my4d]

สวยเก่งมากๆในโลก

[@edgardcc]

Very good fight from both girls!

[@billpentz7482]

I noticd in Barlows fights she seems to have the better team between rounds. She comes out refreshed while her opponents seem at least to come out starting up just a little better then they ended the round.

[@LeMortso]

Barlow is a brawler, very little style, but she's powerful. Non-Plussed.

[@ethancarothers7033]

iman kicks are to good

[@claradebresillion4782]

Good game Iman Barlow 👍

[@paxas03]

Iman knows how to fight properly or just hugging the opponent?

[@melih1429]

lesbıan fighters

[@richybstix2669]

Iman was too solid

[@BazColne]

Lobo was excellent but Barlow is a relentless tiger.

[@bobthediverdudemerrick6811]

They keep saying she's 21, 22 or whatever??? That is impossible. She did an interview in 2013 and she said she was 29yrs old there. So someone has really bad information.

[@billyblake8393]

She is 23 brirthday april 14 1993

[@bobthediverdudemerrick6811]

Yeah, I know...

[@jackyboygee777]

Lobo looks like a young boy to me???

[@timjohansen5678]

I can't believe no one has mentioned that referee. WTF was he doing? Yes referees sometimes use the ropes to bump the fighters back into the ring in the hopes this will put them in a position where they can work, especially when they are leaning heavily into the ropes but that guy was out of control. The referee was either pulling the ropes so they were tipped in an awkward position and couldn't work or he was stopping them as soon as they entered the clinch. Not only that but he's pulling ropes when they aren't even near them and even pulling ropes when they're in the corners. I've never seen a referee screw up the flow of a fight so badly. He's the worst muay thai ref I've ever seen, I almost couldn't watch the fight he was so bad. That said good performance from both fighters. I thought the fight was more competitive than the announcers made it seem and calling the winner before the decision in a competitive fight was a bit unprofessional.

[@jackmacaskill114]

it was like he was drunk and holding himself up during the fight.

[@neilnutley3854]

I was thinking the exact same thing.. he was a terrible ref.. I couldn't watch the rest soley on him,, like he's a k1 ref not allowing these lasses to clinch

[@richardmorgan5621]

was this even a fight not one good punch the hole thing

[@KerryO91]

I'm going back to watching women fighting in the UFC, this is just boring, to much emphasis on the clinch-up!

[@mattc.8887]

yes, its called muay thai.

[@user-cy6sn5my4d]

ไอมานบราโรว์

[@JohnSmith-jf3us]

What an amateurish lot, the fighters, the ref, the seconds and the commentators.

[@randywalton5056]

Announcers too biased.

[@jackmacaskill114]

i thought they were good, muchg better than screaming Vinny Shoreman who is far more biased.

[@mmgx4895]

Andrew tate😭 what a coincidence

[@davidhaney1394]

man i hate biased commentators

[@johnmoss8015]

Again Barlow is set up with a far less experience opponent.

[@crazypills88]

Every time clinching...boring.

[@bakersmileyface]

May be boring but it's good fighting Iman knew she had superior strength and stamina to her opponent so she barraged Maria with kicks to knock her balance and then used her full weight to pull her down and tire her out.

[@zenairzodiac5398]

what with that stupid music
