Taylor Starling scored a big win over Shelby ‘Boom Boom’ Cannon in her 10th promotional appearance at BKFC 79 on Saturday night.
Despite giving up a significant size and reach advantage, it was Cannon who drew first blood, connecting with a booming overhand left that busted Starling’s nose open in the opening round. That punch became a recurring theme throughout the fight — particularly in the fourth round, where Cannon landed it multiple times on the one-time title challenger.
Starling utilized her jab throughout the fight to keep Cannon at a distance, but it did little to prevent ‘Boom Boom’ from bullying her way inside.
