Green, 35, burst onto the boxing world with a quality not often seen in women’s boxing. It’s her slick style and ability to conjure highlight-reel knockouts. You watch her fights, and they always promise a level of excitement and a display of skill. Her aggressive and power-oriented style has kept her opponents on their toes and given her an impressive record of 14-1 with 11 KOs. To fully understand her knockout power and athleticism, look no further than her 78.57% KO ratio.

Furthermore, the New Jersey native has shown a 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 in the boxing ring is her height, as she towers over her opponents and unleashes her heavy punches. Green is 173 cm tall. But will her physicality and penchant for knockouts make her a champion?

Watpool, 35, is a relatively new entrant to professional boxing, having made her debut just two years ago. But the Canadian boxer has already made her mark with her strength and boxing acumen, quickly racing to an unblemished record of 7-0 with 2 KOs. Within two years, she reached the No. 1 ranking in the WBA middleweight rankings and won the WBA international middleweight title in September when she defeated Spence. Now she’s taking on 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 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 has been national amateur champion 5 times. That’s why she’s building her professional career on the foundation of a solid amateur career. While no details are available on her measurements, she weighed 165.0 lbs when she last stepped on the scale. She will carry the weight disadvantage as Green weighed 167.5 pounds in her last fight. But how will their fight go?

When talking about Watpool’s amateur career, she fought some 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 made her ready for any situation in professional boxing. ‘The Whip’ could also make the fight dirty, forcing Green into the clinch and not allowing her opponent to dictate the range and pace of the fight.

It frustrated Green in her battle with Franchon Crews Dezurn, and in the end she lost the fight. Don’t be surprised if Watpool uses the same strategy. But Green lets her hands go, effectively cutting the ring and landing accurate and powerful shots. Her technique is the perfect mix of power and precision. Considering The Sweet Terminator’s experience and advantage in strength and weight, expect her to win a long-awaited title shot.
