She's built up her fighting style around not being hit in the first place. If no one knows that you're there and can't hit you when they find out, you don't have to be able to take any hits. She's a ninja. She's a sniper. But she's no Spartan.

Roman won the fight because:

1) He's an adult and had more time to train, and thus is more skilled

2) He was able to hit Blake, messing up her flow in combat and making her stop to think

3) He is, physically, much stronger than Blake and appears to be about as fast.

It's not like Roman was throwing weak punches. That sound when he nails Blake in the face (and every time he hits her, really) was... intense, to say the least. It sounded to me like he broke her nose...
