“I felt great going eight rounds for the first time. I felt like I could go 15 in there tonight. Ten rounds will be no problem.” – Mikaela Mayer
Los Angeles’ Mikaela Mayer (8-0, 4 KOs) let her hands do all the talking at CHI Health Center in Omaha, NE on Saturday Night.
Mayer’s heavy right hand was explosive on Edmonton’s Vanessa Bradford in their 8-Round matchup for the vacant NABF Super Featherweight Championship broadcast live on ESPN+
The US Olympian kept Bradford on her back foot for the first half of the bout as Mayer kept the point-gathering going.
After stunning Bradford in the fifth round, Mayer delivered a heavy overhand right that put her opponent to the canvas.
Bradford survived but could not muster up much of an offense on the taller Mayer.
Official Scores: 80-71, 80-71, 80-71
With the clear Unanimous Decision victory, Top Rank must be contemplating a world title opportunity in the very near future for Mayer.
