strong attack in Round 1 with Mina keeping her composure and landing some good combinations.

found that her front kick was a very effective weapon for this fight and began landing it at will and gaining control
by using it to set up some great hand and leg combinations.
Round 3 found Mina in
control and showcasing some strong boxing and kicking combinations. She was the aggressor for the entire round.
Mina also landed a very strong roundhouse kick to the neck. Vicky showed how tough she was as she continued fighting
strong to the final bell.

Mina Sarihasan has fought outside of the U.S. and was thrilled to fight in England. She hopes to return to Europe to fight
again.

a NYS and East Coast title and this undefeated young female fighter plans on becoming an Amateur World champion at 124 lbs

skill and will that Mina possesses for such little experience (only 2 
years in training). Tommy said that in all of his years of training and fighting he has never seen anyone learn as quickly
as Mina and is really happy to see her success in fighting at only 17 years old.
