Tecia Pennington vs Denise Gomes - AI generated fight pick

Denise Gomes is the more dynamic and dangerous finisher in this matchup, with 7 of her 11 wins coming by knockout and a significant striking accuracy of 51%. She is 11 years younger than Tecia Pennington, which is a historically important factor in women's strawweight, as fighters over 35 have a notably lower win percentage against younger, rising contenders. Gomes also holds a reach advantage (arm and leg), and her recent form is strong, including KO wins and a victory over Karolina Kowalkiewicz, a common opponent. Pennington is extremely durable, defensively sound (62% significant strike defense), and experienced, but she lacks finishing threat (only 1 KO, 1 submission in her career) and her offensive output has declined with age. Historically, fighters with Gomes' youth, power, and recent momentum have a higher win rate over aging, technical veterans. Expect Gomes to pressure forward, land the heavier shots, and possibly outwork Pennington over three rounds.
