Women’s boxing will take center stage tomorrow (Thursday, October 9th) when Canada’s Natasha “The Nightmare” Spence (9-8-2, 6 KOs) faces former 140-pound title holder Mary “Merciless” McGee (28-4, 16 KOs) in a junior middleweight bout at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. At 40 years old, Spence comes in determined to keep her momentum going after snapping a seven-fight losing streak with a victory in August. Spence's hallmarks are her pressure and toughness. Across the ring will stand McGee, a seasoned warrior with a résumé that speaks for itself. The 39 year-old McGee had a title run at 140 pounds from 2019 to 2021 but has not fought since January 2023. In two of her losses, she went the distance with Holly Holm and Chantelle Cameron. McGee brings a blend of experience, timing, and power that has kept her relevant across multiple weight classes. McGee’s style is built on constant pressure, sharp ring IQ, and the ability to close rounds with authority, traits that could prove decisive in this matchup.
