Wearing all pink, Barwick raced out of the corner and started throwing punches immediately. She showed an improved jab and changed levels effectively. Touching Marruffo's body created openings up top, which Barwick took advantage of. Marruffo tried to throw back, but her ill-conceived punches couldn't stop Barwick's constant attack. Referee Daniel Alberto Duarte jumped in after Marruffo ate several shots while her back was to the ropes.
While Barwick fought much better than she had in her previous exhibitions, Marruffo was not a capable opponent. This bout was announced as a lightweight contest in contrast to Marruffo's first fight in November, which was scheduled for twenty pounds lighter, a difference of six weight divisions. The 32 year old from Mexico is now 0-2 with two first round stoppage losses.
