Eh another reason why Yang lost, besides Neo's superior avoidance skills would probably be due to the reach of their fighting style.

Notice how Yang's boxing fighting style is incredibly short range? Neo uses Her parasol which easily gives her x2 much reach and kicks (maybe about 1.5x reach?) Neo uses her Parasol to simply hit Yang before she gets close and kicks her before Yang can complete her punch (when Neo dosen't straight up dodge it at least). In fact at one point she just shoved the opened parasol into Yang and Yang just couldn't hit her. So Yang tries to grapple. Smart. But Neo's acrobatic skills allowed her to use Yang's own momentum to throw and K.O. her.

Plus, Yang's boxing fighting style really can't deal with kicks, it has no counters to kicks. I mean generally you'll probably want to block with kicks of your own, dodge or perhaps trap the leg.
