(NOV 2) MONTREAL, Canada — On Thursday night,
at the Montreal Casino, in Montreal, Canada, in a female bout, Mikaela Mayer,
151, of Colorado Springs, Colorado fought Canada's Mary Spencer in a ten-round
bout for the WBA, WBC and WBO Super Welterweight titles.
In an easy win fro Mayer, defeating Spencer in by a unanimous decision, with
judges scores at 100-90, 98-92 and 98-92, with Mayer capturing three world title
belts.
Mayer (22-2, 5 KOs), is still the reigning WBO welterweight champion, and added
two more world championships to her resume.
In a press release via Top Rank, they wrote, "Though the smaller fighter on
paper, Mayer looked and fought like the bigger woman inside the ring, pressing
forward behind a stiff jab before crouching low to connect with right hands.
Mayer established the straight right early, then
began landing left hooks to keep Spencer (10-3, 6 KOs) on the defensive. The
former champ spent much of the fight on the back foot, circling Mayer to find
opportunities to connect. She was unable to stifle Mayer’s constant pressure
down the stretch and was buzzed in the ninth and 10th rounds."
Mayer said had said before her fight, “Usually, I’m the taller fighter. But
because I’m usually the taller fighter, I also know how to beat me. And it’s
never good when you’re the taller fighter and you let the other fighter get
underneath."
“So, I knew I had to come up underneath Mary Spencer and just come over the top
with the big hooks. That’s what we trained for, and you saw me towards the last
three rounds of the fight, really landing those big right and left hooks to the
head.
“I think the most important thing is I have options.
That's great in boxing. You always want options. I came off two years where my
career kind of took a left turn. I had to navigate my way back to this position.
So having options is definitely a blessing.
“I’ll have to go back and go over things with my team. I would love to defend
both belts. I can go back to 147, become undisputed there, and maybe come back
up and defend at 154.”
