Tale of the Tape:
Vera Brezhneva:
Age: 36
Height: 5'7 ¾
6-1 (6kos)
Vs
Azealia Banks:
Age: 26
Height: 5'7
8-2 (8kos)
This weeks Golden Gloves poll concerns two singers looking to make a name for themselves in the bantamweight division.
Let's start with Vera; the Ukrainian star has made quite an impact since debuting last year, she nearly won the rookie of the year with her stunning run that saw her demolish her first four opponent with ease.
Since that run; she has lost to her bitter rival Doda, that was after 10 gruelling rounds, before bouncing back to defeat Tamara Ecclestone and stunningly beating former BBU bantamweight champion Una Healy!
Her technique is normally to act like a sledgehammer, hit hard and look for the knockout, she has real power in both hands and has shown to have a granite grin.
The only flaw that has been exposed is stamina, due to fights finishing mostly early for her, when she did get dragged into deep rounds, she slowed down and become much more hit able as Doda proved.
While Azealia is a big American star; her run of wins after her debut saw her win 6 in a row, with Hall of Famer Jessica Schwarz one of her victims.
Her first defeat came at the hands of Jennifer Lawrence, something definitely not to be ashamed of, before battering Ellie Goulding and then losing to Una Healy when she was the champion.
Her style is very similar to Vera's, I'd argue her footwork is smoother but she is someone who loves being on the front foot and walking opponents down.
Her weaknesses seem to be her chin, which Jennifer Lawrence tested and found wanting, while Una showed if you rile her up, her temper makes her make mistakes and leaves her open.
So who would win if they lace up the gloves, to help you guys decide, here are photos of the women, to vote remember to go to the bottom of the post and click the link.
