Elena Gradinar:Â "It was an easy fight for me. I didn't take even one single punch from Maria during the fight."Â
GL: You're going to be fighting Paola Torres (11-2-1) next month, what are your thoughts about her as a fighter?Â
EG: "The fight will take place on the January 6, 2018 in Tallinn, Estonia. It will be most important and dangerous fight in my still-short professional career.
