GINA Iniong got back on the winning track in the most impressive fashion after outclassing one-time title contender Jenny Huang in the preliminary bout of ONE: Heroes of Honor on Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Coming off a disappointing loss to Mae Yamaguchi, the pride of Team Lakay put on a well-rounded performance from bell to bell enroute to a unanimous decision victory.
Her Taiwanese foe never had any answer to Iniong's relentless pressure on the feet and impressive ring control.
Iniong's best round came in the second when she floored her opponent early with a straight right hand. She then countered Huang's kimura attempt with an armbar to end the round.
The 28-year-old wushu practitioner kept on pushing the pace up until the final round, as she ended the fight on top - a symbolic way to end the fight.
Iniong improved to 7-3 while Huang dropped to 5-3.
In the curtain-raiser, Adrian Mattheis (5-3) hacked out an exciting decision victory over Chinese Lan Ming Qiang.
