Mikaela Mayer vs. Sandy Ryan 2 (WBO welterweight championship)

Mikaela Mayer vs. Sandy Ryan 2 started off with the American showcasing an educated jab and amazing volume punching that appeared to disrupt her English foe's rhythm. It took a while for Ryan to find her footing in the fight, but to her credit, she did find success when she upped the ante and displayed her signature aggressive fighting style.

A major difference-maker between the two pugilists seemed to be that Mayer was utilizing combinations and had the better strike volume, whereas Ryan seemed to be hunting for power punches and would primarily commit to only one strike and then disengage.

She'd displayed solid power in her previous meeting with Mayer. However, Mayer's defense seemed to have improved this time around, which also played a key role in the rematch. Another key factor in the fight was Mayer's ability to stay composed after an apparent clash of heads opened up a cut over her eye. She refused to let it impede her game plan and continued using her high-volume strategy.

Ultimately, their rematch went the distance, and the three official judges scored the fight as a unanimous decision victory for Mayer -- with scores of 97-93, 97-93, 98-92. The American thereby went 2-0 in her series of fights against her British rival and defended her WBO welterweight belt. Mayer also suggested that she'd like an undisputed title clash against current unified welterweight champion Lauren Price.
