Natasha Jonas has hit back at claims from Mikaela Mayer that the judges made the wrong decision at the end of their fight.
The two contested Jonas’ IBF welterweight championship and it was the incumbent who emerged victorious courtesy of a split-decision victory.
Both fighters agreed that there may be a way for them to run it back for a rematch, but where they disagreed was that Jonas thought that she was the deserved winner.
"I thought I was comfortably two rounds up at the end," she told Sky Sports .
"I respect people's opinion. Everyone's entitled to one. But the result matters on the day and I got the result.
"All in all, I won. I grinded it out. I made it a little bit uncomfortable for myself in the middle rounds. Again I won, that's all I can say. I won.
"I do honestly believe everything that Joe [Gallagher, her trainer] says. So when he tells me a result, there's been fights in the past where he's said you're two down, you need to do something. I respect what he says and if he think it's close, he'll always give it to the other person.
"He had me winning by two rounds in the end. He was tallying the rounds up as we went along.
"Sometimes you can box brilliant and lose or draw, whatever it is, and the decision doesn't go your way and sometimes you can scrape a win and I think I did that."
