McCaskill looks strong.

Braekhus coming in a little soft maybe?

She doesn't seem to have the abdominal definition does she? IDK she's reportedly been training at the Summit non stop for months due to the postponment and if Sanchez is good for anything it's probably for getting fighters in shape. Also the fight's contracted at 145 which is a touch lower than her usual weigh-ins. Woulda thought she'd be more defined if anything.

Braekhus can get some! McCaskill looks like she could keep up with me on the bench, so no.

Yeah, for all the talk about the extended training at Big Bear I was expecting her to be more ripped than that.

Gonna be a good fight!

Women’s boxing has been on fire for the last couple of years, has some fights better than some of the men’s fights!

My goodness does Jessica McCaskill look rock hard, healthy and absolutely incredible. She definitely looks considerably stronger than she was at the lighter weight when she faced Katie Taylor. She looks more physically powerful and impressive than Cecilia, but then again, there are no prizes awarded to the boxer with the most ripped physique or the most impressive muscles.
But yes, based on previous fights and Jessica's proven toughness, if this turns into a brawl, Jessica will most likely be too durable and strong for Cecilia. Cecilia is a craftswoman though, and if she can out-manoeuvre, show better legs and keep the fight at distance she should win on pounts. It will be fascinating however watching how Jessica goes about utilising her power in body, power in punching, and clear strength advantage. Fantastic match up between two elite boxers with polar opposite attributions and qualities.

Indeed. As ever the physique of the fighters doesn't necessarily tell us that much. Certainly the assumption here would be that Breakhus will be the boxer and Jessica looking for a roughhouse kinda fight and going off historical form and the physical advantages in height and reach that Cecelia possess I goota go with the First Lady FTW... but Cecelia's nearly 39 years old and it's been over 3 years since she's faced a proven opponent on the level of McCaskill... honestly Jessica is a very live underdog here even coming up from 140 and giving up reach and height.

I just think unless Cecilia gets old overnight she should outbox a game McCaskill who is strong but crude and had some close fights with Farias I think Cecilia is just a level above but who knows if McCaskill wins that would be cool she was homeless for a while and she unified 140 titles so winning these belts would make her a unified champion in 2 divisions not bad would be a good movie.

Such a lovely looking lady Cecilia, and a fine boxer, and we can't see the face because of the stupid mask.
