Veteran referee Luis Pabon, no stranger to controversy, made the right call when he jumped in to shield Clark. Pabon could see that Clark looked shell-shocked and instantly waved off the bout. Clark was in a daze for several minutes afterward. Cohen was award a TKO victory despite not landing a punch.
The debacle was no fault of Cohen's, a 28 year old from Plantation, Florida; she can only take on the opponent in front of her. It's the fault of the commission and Clark's team, who should have known their fighter was not in the right state to fight. But the win obviously doesn't help Pitbull in the long run.
Cohen is now 2-0 with one KO. Her debut took place on April 1, 2023 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA where she beat Danielle Wynn by unanimous decision. Despite being the shorter fighter, the 5' 3" Cohen landed big overhand rights and left hooks over the top from the outside all fight. She used convincing feints and timing to land those big shots.
Cohen took up martial arts ten years ago and has in-the-ring experience as a kickboxer. She fights for the memory of her father David Cohen Z"L, who passed away five years ago.
Hopefully, Cohen will be back in the ring soon and get to show her skills against a viable opponent.
