And then there were two.
Mikella Mayor put a warm rivalry with Sandy Ryan with a unanimous decision win on Saturday night to maintain WBO women’s welterweight title. And with a definite decision of Lauren Price, with a win over Natasha Jonas on 7 March, there is only one battle to make the IBF and WBA title to its WBC belt, to make welterweight divisions.
An indisputable title between the mayor and the value should be the only course of action in the fight weight class.
Price dominated Jonas to become Unified Welterweight Champion and indicated to change the guard. When the mayor’s turn to catch the end of the mayor’s negotiation, he did it with an excellent performance that demonstrated his patience and determination.
In September, the first meeting between Mayor and Ryan was a close case, in which the mayor won the controversial majority decision. There was an intensive construction in Remach on Saturday. Ryan accused the mayor’s team of a paint attack before their first battle, but the two-division champion refused their participation. By the time the bell rang for rematch, the two women demanded punishing each other, but it was the night of the mayor. She was tireless and made a lead that it was not enough to overcome a late charge from Ryan.
This was the third event of the mayor in the welterweight for the former integrated junior lightweight champion and interim lightweight title, and the mayor looked much better than his last battle. She sat on her punch and popped an active jab. Ryan descended from a difficult counter right hand and made his share to make it entertaining. But she was not able to live with a busy mayor.
After maintaining the title, the mayor said, “I need to go to Welterweight for a long time.” “When I finally did it, it has been a good solid year and one and a half hard work, and this is the place where I am comfortable. This is where I should have been.”
In January 2024, the Mayor’s welterweight began in a divided decision loss to Jonas, then the price completely excluded Jonas in March. But do not think that boxing mathematics will determine the result between the mayor and the value. The mayor has settled properly in the weight class and is not the fighter who dropped the decision to Jonas, which looked slow compared to the price compared to the previous quarrel at the age of 40.
With their winning, they are not anywhere else, but for each other for their next battle. Price and mayor have proved to be a class of welterweight divisions, and only one thing is left for them to sort, which is uninterrupted.
