Mikaela Mayer Explains Why Her Victory Over Ewa Brodnicka Was ‘Annoying’

One of the finest female super-featherweight boxers on the planet, Mikaela Mayer, put on an exhilarating performance in her last fight. She defeated her rival Ewa Brodnicka to claim her first world title at the 130-pound landscape. Though it was amongst her complete career performances, she certainly was ‘annoyed’ with how the fight went.

Talking to Pro Boxing Fans, Mayer shed some light on this bout and detailed why it annoyed her.

“No, it was more annoying than I thought it would be. I was very confident going into that fight. I believe I was more well-rounded than Brodnicka.”

“She’d move, move, move, move, and then the second I’d close the space she’d grab and hold me. It was definitely an annoying style. I’m not a fan of style, I don’t think it’s entertaining, so I had to press the pace and I had to make it exciting and that’s what the coach always wants from me,” said Mayer.

The 30-year-old admitted Brodnicka’s style was tricky. But, she alongside her coach chalked out the right strategies to tackle her opponent. Mayer kept Brodnicka in control throughout the fight and never let her pile on with constant shots.

The Woodland Hill native scored 100, 100, and 99 on judges’ scorecards to add another ‘W’ to her resume. With this win, Mayer also expressed her interest to compete for the unified super-featherweight title.

Mikaela Mayer to fight for the unified title this year?

The undefeated pugilist improved to 15 wins after the Brodnicka fight. Now, she isn’t interested in taking primal contenders and wants her shot at the champions of her division.

Moreover, Mayer has a colossal beef with the Brit Terri Harper and is keen on fighting her. Harper is the WBC and IBO super-featherweight champion, and an enigmatic title-unification clash between them might get staged this year.

In an interview with ESPN, Mayer called her nemesis Harper out and said, “I think I’m 20 times more experienced than her in the ring, so I would like to get that done because we’ve been talking about it.”

Although the American boxer has expressed her interest in fighting the Brit, the latter hasn’t responded to her call out yet.
