Nobody hands you anything at women's strawweight. Melissa Martinez — "Super Melly" to fight fans — has built a 8-2 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Mexico's regional scene.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 5 KO/TKO wins, 3.78 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Fatima Kline (KO/TKO (Kick) R3) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
