The fight offers fans an exciting affair with fireworks and fast-paced action. That’s not all. It’s also a stylistic matchup. Before this high-stakes fight takes place, let’s have a look at how the two boxers stack up.

Shadasia Green vs. Melinda Watpool: Tale of Tape

Green, 35, burst on the boxing world with a quality you don’t witness often in women’s boxing. It’s her slick style and ability to conjure highlight reel knockouts. You look at her fights, and these always promise a level of excitement and a display of skills. Her aggressive and power-focused style has kept her opponents on their toes and ensured her an impressive record of 14-1 with 11 KOs. If you want to fully grasp her knockout power and her athleticism, you don’t have to look beyond her KO ratio of 78.57%.

In addition, the New Jersey native has exhibited zeal to fight and bounce back from adverse situations, as she earned her right back at the top when she handed a comprehensive defeat to Natasha Spence this July. What has given her an extra edge inside the boxing ring is her height, as she towers above her opponents and unleashes her heavy punches. Green stands tall at 5’8″ (173 cm). But will her physicality and her penchant for knockouts make her a champion?

Watpool, 35, is a relatively fresh entrant into professional boxing, with her debut coming only two years ago. But the Canadian boxer has already made her mark with her power and boxing acumen and swiftly raced to an unblemished record of 7-0 with 2 KOs. Within two years, she took the #1 spot in the WBA middleweight rankings and won the WBA international middleweight title this September when she defeated Spence. Now she is mounting a challenge in a division above.

Despite the Ontario native’s KO ratio of 28.57%, she has a fan-friendly style and likes to put forward pressure on her rivals. She dominated Green in their fight, as he drove her into the ropes with a barrage of body blows. What’s more? She has been boxing since 2007 and claimed the national amateur championship 5 times. Therefore, she is building her professional career on the bedrock of a solid amateur career. While there are no details available on her dimensions, she clocked in 165.0 lbs when she last stood on the scales. She will carry the weight disadvantage, as Green weighed 167.5 lbs in her last fight. But how will their fight pan out?

Prediction: Who wins it?

When we talk about Watpool’s amateur career, she fought one of the best in the world, including Claressa Shields. ‘GWOAT’ has admitted that one of the hardest punches she ever absorbed was from Watpool. Her strong amateur career base has ensured she is ready for every situation in professional boxing. ‘The Whip’ also could make the fight dirty, forcing Green into the clinch and not allowing her opponent to dictate the fight’s range and pace.

It frustrated Green in her fight with Franchon Crews Dezurn, and she eventually lost the fight. Don’t be surprised if Watpool employs the same strategy. But Green lets go of her hands, cuts the ring effectively, and lands precise and powerful shots. Her technique is the perfect blend of power and precision. Given ‘The Sweet Terminator’s experience and advantage in power and weight, you can expect her to win a long-overdue title. However, Watpool has every skill and trick to deny Green the title and claim the same for herself.
