In anticipation of a wild confrontation between the two world-class strikers, Stamp provided fans with more information about Toddβs evolution as a fighter.
Being a former rival against Todd on two separate occasions in Muay Thai and kickboxing, Stamp gave the perfect rundown of Toddβs striking prowess.
βThe first time I fought with her, she still couldnβt read the game. Her style was obviously pressing forward, sharp and accurate. But in the second fight, I found that her game had much improved. She was [smart] and had a good fight intelligence. She always thinks before throwing every single shot."
Stamp added:
βJanet is also strong. She has built her muscles so well. She has brains and wit. She knows all the principles and what to do.β
Janet βJTβ Toddβs experience and athleticism are key factors in winning a second world title. Fans await in anticipation to watch the Californian native bring her skills into action against rising star Lara βPizza Powerβ Fernandez on July 22.
