Jennifer Han & Olivia Gerula Title Fight - 2017 - Video

EL PASO, Texas - Jennifer Han defender her IBF world featherweight championship belt for the third time Friday night at the Don Haskins Center after defeating Olivia Gerula by unanimous decision. Han controlled the fight from start to finish, recording a knockdown in the fifth round against Canada's Gerula. Han, 33, seemed to be much more agile on her feet than the 37-year-old Gerula in making her title defense. Gerula, a former world champion herself, seemed to be confounded all night by Han's agility and technique, despite declaring before the fight that she would "shake things up" and defeat the favored Han. Gerula was found to be 1.5 pounds overweight in Thursday's weigh-in, meaning even if she defeated Han, she would not have been eligible to claim her title. All three of Han's title defense matches have come in El Paso - two at the Haskins Center and one at Southwest University Park. Han also originally claimed her belt with a win at the Haskins Center. http://www.kvia.com/sports/jennifer-han-retains-title-after-beating-olivia-gerula-at-haskins-center/340989605
