Poll: Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko

[tang]

This Valentina girl is tough as shit. She's equipped with skills to be a KGB espionage agent or something similar. Lioness is good but I think Valentina takes it in a 5 rounder. Here's how their first fight went.

and since then
and
and the countdown to it

If Amanda catches her Early with some Meisha/Ronda bombs it's over. But in the later Rounds I gotta give it to "Bullet".

Did they fight already? 5 rounds makwss it interesting. I voted Amanda but in 5 maybe valentina


Big fan of both

Amanda used to train minutes away at AMA fight Club tho. And her training partners says she's cool. So ill pull for her

I have to say nunes after going back and forth quite a bit. Not confident, but I think she is the more well rounded fighter. I also think she is more athletic and quicker, and I think she probably improved more than Valentina has since their last fight.

Her cardio is the only reason I'm not more confident, and it's probably one of the main reasons people are picking Valentina.

I predict a slower fight than the first with nunes taking the first three. Valentina takes it to a tired nunes in the 4th and 5th. Nunes squeaks the dec. But maybe Valentina can get a 10-8 round, so it's a good fight to bet the draw.

I got Nunes by TKO.

Bullet needs to keep the distance and use her kick boxing to light up Nunes then back off. Hit and run type ya know? If it goes passed 2 rounds then Bullet's chances increase significantly each round. Could also see her starching Nunes early.

I pick Shevchenko on durability alone. Amanda had her in trouble the first fight but couldn't finish. That's demoralizing and if fight had went on, could have been different outcome.
During the press-conf face off, Amanda shoved her fist on Valentina's face and she didn't even flinch a bit. Another reason for Amanda to be demoralized.

I have to go Nunes, Shev is a much better striker but that doesn't matter if she can't use it. I think Nunes will take her down and rough her up in the first three rounds and Shev will start to come back in 4 and 5 but not do enough, to get the win.
