Fight Analysis
Jared Cannonier is a powerful athlete, skilled in boxing. Coming off two consecutive victories against ranked opponents, including the number 1 Sean Strickland, Cannonier enters with confidence.

Additionally, his endurance and youth will be decisive assets in this fight.

Imavov’s versatility and agility will be decisive factors in this encounter. His ability to switch between boxing and wrestling will keep his opponent constantly on the defensive.
