By Trevor Peele

The first fight at Madison Square Garden is in the books. It wasn't the fast start that fans were expecting but something many have been waiting years to witness.

It took all three rounds with Liz Carmouche (9) winning in split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) over New Jersey's Katlyn Chookagian.

 

The only real action came in the first round as Carmouche completed a pair of takedowns.
