She won silver medals at the lightweight at 2020 olympic games in tokyo, losing in that final to kaylee harrington of ireland, no words yet on when specifically fiera will make her pro debut uh.
I know you’ve been watching some of our highlights centered.
So if i, let’s uh, let’s bust it down a little bit for it all right, yes, uh, very good high level, amateur boxer um, she has an aggressive style, but she, you know she has an aggressive, establish.
She reached the high levels of the amateur ranks at the olympics and world championships, so obviously she has skill to her aggressiveness, even even in the the close fights that she lost they’re.
All very close fights she’s never been blown out even in the gold medal match at the olympics.
That was a close fight that could have went either way.
So you know i’m very interested to follow her career and um see if she can continue this aggressive style at uh.
You know the parole ranks yeah.
So definitely i can’t wait for this girl to climb these ranks.
Man uh, you know successfully navigating all these world championships you know losing in the final in tokyo.
This girl is a highly highly trained fighter and honestly she has a style that i believe is better suited for the ranks man uh.
You know she is better known.

The brazilian is aggressive.
All action lightweight boxes on that front foot guys uh.
There is no chance that a referee will be ordering the fighters to engage ever when she is in the ring man, because, honestly, that’s all she’s about he’s about in there engaging head front front front footballer.
You know aggressor, pushing pace and definitely has the skills to do it.
Uh cedric anything else.
You want to add in here uh yeah.
She has good defense too.
Oh, she got just kidding with a jab there, as i say that, but other than that she does have good defense uh, which i really appreciate, and one of the important things when you’re going into the professional ranks um specifically for the females that aren’t wearing any Head gear, for the guys, you know when, when you’re an amateur uh when you’re a little kid you wear headgear up until you turn senior um, then they hit yours off, getting ready for the pros.
The females wear headgear right up until uh.
You know until their last amateur match, so that’s just one thing: she’ll have to adjust to but um again.
Another reason why you got to make sure your defense is tight.
So definitely you know her.
Her father is remundo fiera, who was a two-time brazilian champion and uh.
You know he coaches his daughter and was not impressed with the judge’s unanimous decision in favor of harrington uh in that uh tokyo, final man to be honest and uh.
He voiced he voiced that concern um, but you know he’s 44 years old he’s got four sorry he’s not 44 he’s got 44 years of boxing experience, and you know he’s got lots that he can.
He could definitely pass along to his daughter man um.
