Revealed: One Simple Trick Michelle Waterson-Gomez Learned From Speaking With Judges Before Rodriguez Rematch

On the back of an upsetting split decision loss, and with a previous decision loss to her upcoming opponent Marina Rodriguez, Michelle Waterson-Gomez took an unconventional approach to preparation by speaking with judges to better understand how to avoid ending up on the wrong side of another decision and the innovative action paid off Saturday night to undeniable effect. Waterson-Gomez was coy during the week, revealing that her and her team at Jackson Wink Wink had devised a foolproof way to make sure the judges don’t score the fight for her opponent but would only offer “it’s gonna be bloody and brutal in there,” when asked. Now that she’s had the chance to put her plan into action we can only tip our hat to the AlbuQuerQue outfit.
