Heading into this weekend’s strawweight bout, with both women sharing the same height, Kowalkiewicz will have a slight advantage in the reach department.
In her last bout, Kowalkiewicz rolled back the years with her combinations and tore up Herrig with her vicious knees. With that being said, Kowalkiewicz showed signs that she could get caught. When watching Gómez Juárez, she loves to land clean and look for that knockout blow from the get-go. If Kowalkiewicz fights like that against Gómez Juárez, she will get caught. From the off, we suspect that Kowalkiewicz will look to engage and try and take the fight to the floor. However, Gómez Juárez will find a way to weather the storm and land the knockout blow.
