Allycia Hellen Rodrigues assessed the title bout as completely even with legitimate danger for both competitors. The reigning champion predicted multiple rounds of intense exchanges rather than chess match.
“I believe this fight is 50-50. It could go either way. It is a fight that is as dangerous for me as it is for her. But I do believe that the vast majority of the rounds will be a brawl,” Rodrigues explained.
The bold prediction creates high expectations for their main event showdown. Both fighters possess finishing ability and aggressive mentalities that promise explosive exchanges throughout five rounds.
