Aaron McKenna vs. Etinosa Oliha: Prediction
With McKenna’s power and timing, I predict a TKO/KO victory for him over Oliha. McKenna is a more well-rounded boxer who mixes his attack to the head and body of his opponents, while Oliha relies heavily on his headhunting.
Oliha undoubtedly has power in his punches as well, but he’s a bit one-dimensional with his offense, with his hooks as his best weapon. Also, McKenna is a moving target for McKenna, so it’s interesting to see how Oliha would cut off the angles against him.
McKenna has impeccable counters, especially with liver shots and punches to the solar plexus. He uses his jabs and feints to get a reaction from opponents before setting up these counters to the body, which most often crumble his opposition.
