In the latter rounds, Mayer looked more confident as she became the aggressor. She dictated the fight for a commendable period. She took control over the ring and didn’t let Brodnicka arrive with much action. However, the Polish also deserves some respect since she took Mikaela Mayer to the distance. Yet, it wasn’t enough to grab the world title.
Since Brodnicka has a loss on her resume now, she will predictably return stronger in her next fight. It also validates a rematch with Mayer since the original contest was a close call. Thus, fight fans can expect an interesting ride in the women’s division with so many elites present in the active roster. That said, Mikaela Mayer deserves all the appraisal and the attention for the moment.
