Good or bad move?

Good or bad move?

'meh' move, imo. McCarter seems to be able to fight (7 years undefeated), and her record seems to only be ugly due to her "learn on the job" fights, but there's no real path that I can see.

She seems to be physically able to fight 140/135, so maybe the move to Mayweather Promotions (with the increased interest from Showtime/CBS in airing women's boxing) can help grease the skids to bring more of the belts over stateside.

Beyond tht, Cecilia Braekhus fighting in the US seems to only need to be prefaced by the availability of an opponent worth her fighting stateside.

This is one of the things I like about women's boxing. There's no ducking (unless you're Laila Ali)
