UFC Vegas 122: Loopy Godinez vs. Ketlen Souza: Prediction
A decision win for Godinez is my prediction over Souza because she’s a more technical boxer and overwhelms opponents with volume. The jabs and quick cross punches will be her keys to victory over Souza because Godinez is quicker.
Though the one-punch knockout power leans more toward Souza, Godinez is a defensively responsible fighter. If Souza is a heavy kicker, it would be a different story, but because they have a similar boxing base, Godinez’s stinging jabs will be the key difference.
The only thing Godinez should worry about is Souza’s punching power, because she has legitimate one-punch knockout capability. If she overextends or makes a defensive mistake, she’ll pay a hefty price.
