Aleksandra Savicheva vs Jacinta Austin

🔅 Aleksandra Savicheva and Jacinta Austin will meet in a women’s strawweight bout at a PFL event. Both fighters will look to use the upcoming fight to strengthen their positions in the division. Savicheva needs to set a pace that suits her and prevent her opponent from controlling the distance. Austin, meanwhile, needs to manage her energy carefully and avoid unnecessary exchanges. Striking accuracy and takedown defence will be particularly important in this matchup.

We favour Austin, who can gain an advantage by fighting more patiently. Savicheva will almost certainly try to stay active, but constant pressure takes a considerable physical toll. The Australian needs to stay disciplined and respond to her opponent’s attacks at the right moments, without letting Savicheva build on any success. If Austin can control the distance and land effective combinations more often, her chances of winning a decision will improve. Our prediction is Austin to Win.
