The best advice in this fight is never to overlook Costa. He is a talent and very dangerous in every part of the fight, especially at that young age. His striking has been improving per game, and he is a force to be reckoned with. Costa takes this one; 4-fight win streak is too much for Erosa. I can see costa using leg kicks to take down erosa and finishing erosa in the 3rd round.

Our match prediction is Under 2.5 rounds with odds at 1.60 on 1Xbet.
