LAST SECONDS OF THE FIGHT, THE TURKISH TRIES TO COME BACK AND SHE DOES IT IN A GOOD WAY, GU STARTS TO LOSE HER GUARD.

UPPERCUT FROM SURMENELI, GU DOESN'T FALL AND GOES BACK. THE TURKISH FIGHTER LOOKS MUCH MORE COMPLETE AND THE ASIAN IS VERY TIRED.

Hong Gu looks nervous, Surmeneli hits with important combinations and now it's an interesting exchange, neither giving ground.

All the judges gave the Turkish Surmeneli as the winner. Gu has a warning for tying up her opponent.

The Asian shoots with right and misses, she tries with left and also misses. The Turkish takes advantage, but can not keep the guard and Gu grows and goes on the attack, connects a right fulminating.

Gu ties up and the referee of the ring calls her attention. It's time for the turkish who counterpunches with low combinations, gets an uppercut and the Chinese Gu is very well protected.

Four judges gave the winner to the Chinese Gu, while only one judge gave the winner to the Turkish Gu.

The fight starts to become disorganized, both opponents are clearly nervous and do not coordinate their blows very well and seem to be clumsy.

Both fighters study each other, but it is Turkey's Surmeneli who connects first while China's Gu keeps her guard up.
