Sijara Eubanks vs Sarah Moras Prediction – Sijara Eubanks
While Moras does have the height advantage, she does not get the advantage of having a longer reach. Instead, Moras with her taller height will actually make herself more of a target. That will actually make it harder for Moras to protect herself in the fight, but with Eubanks being shorter she will have less to target and that allows her to get better protection and land more blows. Look for Eubanks to land more of those blows and bring home the win.
