Mexicali, Baja California, plays host to a WBA interim light flyweight world championship bout on Friday 14 August, as hometown favourite Alma Meraz Rodríguez squares off against Elizabeth López Corzo.
Meraz Rodríguez brings a measured, disciplined approach to the ring. Sharp jab work and nimble footwork are her calling cards - she excels at staying out of danger while picking opponents apart on the counter.
López Corzo, by contrast, thrives on aggression. She looks to close distance quickly, cut off the ring and drag fights into gruelling close-range exchanges designed to sap her rival's energy.
The tactical battle could prove decisive. Meraz will need to dictate the tempo and keep López at range, while López must find ways to breach that disciplined guard and force the action on her own terms, The World Boxing Association reports.
With the Mexicali crowd firmly behind her, Meraz holds a clear home advantage - but López's relentless pressure style has a habit of unsettling even the most composed operators.
