    Comments Thread For: Frida Wallberg Health Update, Mishap Will Be Investigated

    As reported on Friday, WBC female super featherweight champ Frida Wallberg suffered an upset TKO loss to LA-based Australian Diana Prazak tonight in the headliner of Golden Ring´s show in Stockholm, Sweden.

    In the fight - Wallberg (11-2) was ahead on points after five but appeared to fading and Prazak (12-2) just kept coming and got through with a sweeping right hand in the seventh that buckled Wallberg´s knees - and she never seemed to recover. She looked a bit out of it in the corner but came out for the eight but was floored by a short hard left hook during an exchange from the challenger. Wallberg was hurt but was allowed to continue and was then floored again by a short right hook and referee Bela Florian waved it off. [Click Here To Read More]

      Lucia Rijker saved the day, she should get a medal.

      That doctor was garbage, and the whole response was way too slow.

            It was an accident. I feel very sorry for her, she's a good boxer and a warrior.

            She was dropped twice in the 8th round and the second time the fight was stopped. Sure, she didn't seem to be at 100% after the first knockdown, but she was still fighting and the ref gave her a chance to continue. The second time she was dropped hard and the ref did the right thing by stopping the fight.

            I hope she gets better soon.
