Keys to Victory

Paulina Wiśniewska

  1. Use technical striking and footwork to control the range where Hackett is least comfortable and build a scoring lead.
  2. Look for grappling exchanges to add variety and tire Hackett mentally from defending multiple dimensions of attack.
  3. Demonstrate the composure to execute a complete three-round performance rather than gambling on one-punch scenarios.

Chelsea Hackett

  1. Push a high-output pace from the opening exchanges to keep Wiśniewska on the back foot and score early.
  2. Use physical pressure in the clinch to neutralize Wiśniewska's technical striking and force uncomfortable grinding action.
  3. Make the most of the title-night platform by producing a performance that earns a post-fight call-out or roster advancement.
