Comments Thread For: Photos: Mikaela Mayer, Lucy Wildheart - Set For Battle

Such a shame that Linardatu was forced to pull out (I hope her eye is okay and proves to be in the future so she can fight), but cudos to Lucy Wildheart for stepping in at the last moment. The original fight would have been a belter and almost certainly upstaged the main evenr (so many women's fights are doing so as they are just so action packed, entertaining and frankly, incredibly brital, with this one probably to do so too. Is it any wonder that I prefer women's boxing now, and when I think of boxing, I naturally think of female fighters.

Linardatou has an artificial lens in her eye. It's permanent and she's fought with it her whole career. In fact the British Commission approved her to fight Katie Taylor in 2019, so it's strange the Brits didn't pass her this time and that they waited until the last minute to say so. I guess they noticed something different about the eye.

Yes agree with you on that and it’s so obvious they realised she is a threat and they slipped some change in to drop linardatou,l really now do not wish Mayer,arum or any of these corrupt bbbc well

My gosh, this is a very good replacement for Linardatu, as Lucy Wildheart is a solid boxer. Furthermore, she may be much shorter and lack the experience of Mayer, but she is a very fluid and balanced mover, is quick of feet and hand speed, can deliver powerful quick punches, is physically very very strong, and is excellent on her legs. Mayer will start as strong favourite maybe, but Wildheart will make this a tough night's work for Mayer, but can she demonstrate that she is tough enough to beat such an elite all rounder as Mayer?
