When this started, it seemed pretty inconceivable that Smith would have too much trouble here. She looked to have more health and energy. But Fujii I guess is still pretty skilled, and made a fight of it, but it was still all-Smith, generally. Until she became exhausted and had nothing on any offense she was trying to get off.
