This fight is set to keep fans on their toes. Shields will be looking to set the pace of the fight and control the distance. Lepage-Joanisse is more particular about using her heavyweight right-hand punch, especially in close range, to get some points off Shields. With both of the same age and similar characteristics, it is expected for thiꦗs match to go the distance.
