Post-Fight Interviews
Brittany Sims (Post-fight):
“She was tough — I expected that. I wanted to box smart, stay sharp, and that’s what we did. I’m ready for a bigger stage now. Bring on the top 15.”
Marcela Nieto:
“She boxed really well. I gave it my all, but her timing and movement made it tough to land clean. I’ll regroup and be back stronger.”
Sims’ trainer added, “This was a calculated performance. She’s developing quickly, and tonight showed she’s ready for the next level.”
What It Means for the Super Featherweight Division
Sims’ victory should push her into the conversation for a top-20 ranking in the women’s 130-lb division. With her clean boxing style, speed, and improving ring generalship, she’s poised for a step-up bout against an international contender.
Nieto, while coming up short, remains a valuable gatekeeper. Her resilience and willingness to fight anyone anywhere ensure she stays in demand.
What’s Next?
Brittany Sims: Could be looking at a late-2025 return against a fringe contender such as Helena Clavel or Vanessa Bradford. A win there may earn her a regional title shot or world ranking opportunity.
Marcela Nieto: Likely to return to the Latin American circuit where she remains a veteran test for emerging prospects.
