Experts Pick

Both competitors' fighting styles are completely incompatible with one another in this matchup. This battle is predicted to include more strategy as a result of the slower work rate that is anticipated. The fact that Bauza John's arm reach is only four and a half inches puts him at a severe disadvantage in comparison to Hitchins Robinson.
