Braekhus is looking for her:
-8th straight defense of the 5 alphabet soup belts
-10th straight defense of the big 4 undisputed belts
-22nd straight defense of 3 of the belts
-25th straight defense of the original two belts she won

She is the longest reigning 4 belt champion, male or female, in history.

She has the second most consecutive title defenses of ANY champion from ANY sanctioning body, male or female, in history.

If she makes it to 26, she'll tie Joe Louis for the most ever.

This woman does not get enough credit. What people are tripping over themselves praising Claressa Shields and Katie Taylor for doing this year, Braekhus has been doing as a unified champion since March 2009.

People would literally rather watch Cecilia blow me than watch her box.

Is this a joke ? One is a foot taller than the other , and the "other" hasn't had a knockout in her entire career .. FFS

Braekhus is 5'7", Bustos is 5'4 and 1/2"

Bustos is a two division world champion.

Knockouts are hard to come by in women's boxing. Braekhus only has 9 in 35 wins, Shields has 2 in 9 wins, Katie Taylor has 6 in 15 wins.

2 minute rounds + 10 rounds instead of 12 + KO power doesn't scale evenly with weight = fewer knockouts for women's boxing.

Famicommander, your stating the obvious, You practically written a book stating the obvious but still haven't explained why I'm wrong . Now your going disagree with me that there are only 3 or 4 in each division that can fight ? .

Who else is there at 147 for Braekhus to beat?

She beat Anne Sophe Mathis twice, Mia St John, Mikaela Lauren twice, Ivana Habazin, Jessica Balogun, Kali Reis, Erica Farias, Myriam Lamare, etc.

Braekhus has cleaned out the division. It's not her fault all these other fighters move up and down between every division except the one Braekhus has been dominating for 10 years.

Finally somebody who knows what they're talking about. I've been following Cecilia for a while and she doesn't get enough credit for her accomplishments. It cracks me up when Layla mccarters people say well she hasn't fought her. The opponents that Cecilia has fought have way better records than almost anyone Layla has fought including the one girl she fought 4 times. As far as katie Taylor and Claressa Shields since so many things can go wrong in a boxing match when both of them win another 15 to 20 fights then they can say they're on Cecilia's level.
