Larissa Pacheco Shocks Kayla Harrison in PFLWorldChampionship Final
on Friday at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York. Pacheco swept to power behind 48-47 scorecards from all three judges, earning $1 million in the process.Harrison followed a familiar path in the first round, where she looked to be in prime form. She tripped Pacheco to the canvas, applied oppressive top control and racked up points with body-head ground-and-pound, throwing punches with varying intensity.
Pacheco rebounded in the second round, seized the initiative with an attempted guillotine choke and put the American Top Team star on notice. From there, they tested one another in a series of back-and-forth exchanges, on the feet, in the clinch and on the ground.
