This battle is one that sees Casey doing better as a striker and definitely coming in landing more blows. That will be a strong tale of the tape here in the fight as Casey will land quite a few blows on Borella and that will definitely lead to her wearing down in the fight. Look for the fight to go the distance and end up in the judges hands, but once in the judges hands the winner will be Cortney Casey based off of the blows she lands early on in the fight.
