Mikaela Mayer vs. Sandy Ryan 2: Strategic Analysis

Mikaela Mayer (20-2, 5 food) and Sandy Ryan (7-2-1, 3 COs) will encounter each other at the Bleaulive Theater in the Fontainebleau Las Vegas tonight. Their first game was an action -packed war driven by betrayal, hatred and a world championship.

Betrayal in Mayer Kay Koroma coach Kay Koroma was released by Mikaela because he worked with Ryan, she did because he knew she would one day go to the welterweight and eventually challenging the champions in that division. Champions that Ryan would include. She felt betrayed and released him. She hired former boxer Kofi Jantuah and believes that he is now a much better boxer because of his training.

There was hatred in the fact that Ryan believed that the paint attack she suffered during the Fight Night was caused by Mayer’s team. The culprits have yet to be identified, and it is still unknown who was exactly behind the attack. Ryan phased out somewhat when the incident occurred and became angry during the early rounds. The game itself was an action -packed war where both fighters threw 1,203 blows together. It was a close match, with Mikaela winning by the majority decision. In the rematch, they seem to be ready to pick up where they left off. When weighing yesterday, they had a very intense face-off where none of the nose to nose would give an inch.

Sandy came lighter for this match (145.5 pounds) than she did in the first (146.6 pounds), and possibly chose to be more agile and mobile. In the first game, Mayer won the early rounds because of her mobility and boxing skills. The lateral movement created some problems for Ryan. When Mayer stayed in the bag and traded with Ryan, she paid for it. Sandy landed several hard left brackets. Mikaela said she intended to increase her work rate for the re -broadcast. If she gives Ryan more opportunities and does not defend better than she did in the first game, she will be punished more. Mayer’s production was the highest in round 6 and threw 77 strokes; She also hit the most in those rounds, with Sandy landing a fight with 28 -strokes (Compubox).

Sandy was most effective when Mayer stayed in the bag. She was less effective when Mayer was mobile because she had trouble cutting and landing the ring. If Mayer’s strategy is to stay in the bag and trade with Ryan, she will fight against Sandy’s fight, and it can tactically cost her the game. She should use lateral movement and box at the middle to long distance and her wait better use than she did in the first fight. There is still a lot of bad blood between the two, and it should take care of a wonderful successor who can be better than the original.
