I am so happy to hear that this rematch is to happen. The fist fight was incredibly close, but super fascinating. I thought Jessica won it though, and I think that she will do so again, but more clearly next time.
Don’t see how anyone have the fight that close, McCaskill was clearly the better fighter that night and wanted it more!
She was catching Cecilia with clean shots on the inside to the head an body and was whacking her with lead left hooks majority of the fight!
Down the stretch McCaskill was starting to tire and Braekhus was starting to settle down and fight her fight by boxing from the outside but she kept getting dragged into a brawl with the more stronger puncher in Jessica!
I expect the rematch to be more
competitive than the first as Braekhus has the size, experience, and ring IQ to make adjustments!
But I don’t like her talk of going for the KO, that’s not her game!
She lost fair an square cuz she was simply getting outlanded an outworks!
This isn’t the amateurs where body shots don’t count and I clearly saw her get buzzed a bit from a punch from McCaskill in the 5th so not sure why she’s saying she wasn’t bothered!
McCaskill is gonna have to up her tenacity an roughness, more feints, more jabs, and even more body work and also be careful of the uppercut cuz Braekhus has a really good one an was surprised she never used it!
Looking forward to it, no shame in losing to a future Hall of famer in McCaskill!
