The Gym Rat's Prediction
Pick
Yokasta Valle
Method
Points Decision
Reasoning
This is one of those where it feels strange to be picking against the champion when they are coming off probably the best win of their career. Juarez won by majority decision over Jessica Nery Plata in her last fight in October 2025, with her WBC world light flyweight title on the line. That completed a five-fight win streak for the 39-year-old from Mexico City.
Back-to-back losses to Asli Gonzales Macias in October 22 and March 23 saw her lose and fail to regain her WBC World Superflyweight crown.
Yokasta Valle's world title achievements are almost too long to spell out here, but she’s a multi-division, multi-weight world champion who is challenging for a light flyweight title for the second time in her career. Known for her work rate and pressure, she is difficult opposition for anyone.
This isn't a prediction made with much more than a 55-45% level of confidence, but I am going to go for Valle to win a tight points decision
