I have a feeling Jiri Prochazka is gonna get caught and cracked in the chin then get starched. Dunno... It's just from Prochazka's matches he leaves himself wide open.
Choosing the strategy for this fight won't be easy for Jiri. He himself prefers striking, but will be facing someone who's (on paper) better than him in at it. I don't expect he will try to move the fight to the ground. Maybe he'll be attempting some takedowns in an effort to score some points and win rounds. But if the samurai mentality kicks in, we may see a real slug fest.
This fight has really good entertainment potential.
As for Aspinall, I have him to win but if he keeps getting his chin high up Pav could put him to sleep too. Both these underdogs are live.
With all the sympathy for Pavlovich, I think it'll be an easy win for Aspinall. He's just technically better, faster and more determined. But heavyweight is the most unpredictable.
Not exactly sure if we could say Pereira's striking is better than Prochazka's but let let's just say they're different. Prochazka's style is unorthodox and a bit awkward while Pereira has the fundamentals down to a tee and he's more efficient in his movement. But between the two, Prochazka is prolly harder to take down and has the grappling advantage. But then again he leaves himself open at stand up. :/ A huge flaw in his game.
Dunno... Don't think Aspinall would want any of that smoke in the early rounds. He might try to drag it out to the later rounds and try to get Pav tired somehow. I think early rounds are gonna be close.
