Probably a pretty accurate decision. Cyborg was doing some big work, but became exhausted as a result. From there, Kedzie tried to fight her way back into the fight, but without much success. Cyborg’s attacks had nothing on them, and about a round after she was tired, Kedzie became tired, and the fight was a stamina-drain-fest.
