Lourdes Juarez vs. Yokasta Valle: Prediction
I predict a close decision victory for Juarez over Valle because even though both are known for their outstanding stamina, Juarez’s ability to switch stances will be a handful for Valle to handle. This will allow Juarez to give Valle different types of looks throughout the fight.
This switching of stances by Juarez won’t allow Valle to find her rhythm and will constantly make her guess. Additionally, Juarez’s footwork and elusiveness should shine on fight night, since Valle is known for her punching power.
Juarez is expected to fully utilize this footwork and movement to avoid Valle’s power punches and make her miss. However, Juarez should be wary of Valle’s power even in the latter rounds, because she’s known for still carrying that power late in fights.
