Mikaela Mayer (20-2, 5 KB) and Sandy Ryan (7-2-1, 3 KB) should compete this evening at the Bleaulive Theater inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Their first match was a war full of action motivated by betrayal, hatred and a world championship.
Mayer’s longtime coach’s betrayal Kay Koroma was released by Mikaela because he worked with Ryan, she did it because he knew she was aspired to move to the Welter weight one day and finally challenge the champions of this division. Champions that would include Ryan. She felt betrayed and released her. She hired the former boxer Kofi januah and thinks that because of her training, he is now a much better boxer.
There was hatred insofar as Ryan thought that the painting attack that she had suffered the night of combat was caused by the Mayer team. The culprits have not yet been identified, and we still do not know who was exactly behind the attack. Ryan appeared somewhat progressed when the incident occurred and fought angry during the first laps. The match itself was a war full of action where the two fighters launched 1,203 combined punches. It was a tight match, with Mikaela winning by majority decision. In the revenge match, they seem to be ready to resume where they had stopped. During yesterday’s weighing, they had a very intense confrontation where none gave a thumb, from the nose to the nose.
Sandy came lighter for this match (145.5 lb) than it did in the first (146.6 lb), perhaps choosing to be more agile and mobile. In the first game, Mayer won the first laps due to his mobility and boxing skills. The lateral movement has created difficulties in Ryan. When Mayer stayed in the pocket and exchanged with Ryan, she paid for this. Sandy landed several far left hooks. Mikaela said she intended to increase her work rate for the Revenge match. If she offers Ryan more opportunities and does not defend better than her in the first match, she will be more punished. Mayer’s release was the highest of Tour 6, launching 77 punches; She was also the most struck in this Tour, with Sandy winning a 28 -stroke fight in this Tour (Compubox).
Sandy was more efficient when Mayer stayed in his pocket. She was less effective when Mayer was mobile because she had difficulty cutting the ring and landing the punches. If Mayer’s strategy is to stay in the pocket and trade with Ryan, she combat Sandy’s fight, and tactically, it could cost her the match. She must use the lateral movement and the long -distance average box and use her guard better than she did in the first fight. There is still a lot of bad blood between the two, and it should make a large follow -up of action that can be better than the original.
