Gutierrez was too slow to catch Csábi unless Csábi chose to stand and trade punches. After three rounds of relatively uninspiring action, Csábi boxing to the best of her ability, suddenly landed a solid combination and dropped the Spaniard. Although Gutierrez tried hard, her attacks were limited to clumsy rushes, which Csábi dealt with easily.

Bettina Csábi fought local heroine Viktoria Milo to a ten-round majority (97-94,97-93,95-95) decision for the vacant WIBF-GBU Super Flyweight title. According to WBAN correspondent JollyDee, "The bout was qualitative and balanced as well. Bettina's jabs were dominating the match, but the Milo was better in the near and her body shots were very dangerous. At the beginning of the match Csabi was the dominant however in the middle of the fight Milo succeeded in taking charge. When the fight ended, both boxers believed to be the winner. In my opinion at ringside 96-94 of Csábi was the most objective. With her victory Csábi has proved that she is in the elite, and Regina Halmich's official challenger."
