Tiffany Teo has given her opinion on why Xiong Jing Nan was awarded the decision win over Angela Lee.
The main event of ONE on Prime Video 2 between Xiong and Lee was one of the best fights of the year. Since ONE Championship scores fights based on their entirety instead of round-by-round, some fans questioned the result, believing that Lee had done enough in the late rounds to overcome a near-finish that she was on the receiving end of early in the bout.

“Even though Panda [Xiong] was moving on her back feet, I feel that she was landing a lot more damaging shots. If you look at ONE’s judging criteria, aggression is one of the lowest [factors]. Angela was more aggressive, no doubt, because she kept moving forward, but that is kind of the last of the judging criteria.”
Teo added:
“It’s all about the damage done and the near finishes. 'Panda' almost finished Angela in the first round. I’m pretty sure Herb Dean was ready to stop the fight. I really thought it was the end. I guess since it’s a championship fight, they let them play it out a little bit longer.”
Teo has moved down to atomweight, but still has her eyes on Xiong at strawweight. ‘No Chill’ has lost to the Chinese champion twice, but a trilogy fight is not out of the question in the future.
She recently appeared at atomweight, submitting Ritu Phogat inside one round at ONE 161.
