Gleb Bakshi vs. Juan Jose Rodriguez Duran: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Bakshi against Duran because he’s much quicker and more technical in his approach. This speed and fundamental style is a perfect counter to the pace and brawler style of Duran.
Because of Bakshi’s lengthy experience in the amateur setting, where boxers need to be precise and disciplined enough not to engage in a firefight. Additionally, he has a very rapid left hook that catches his opponents off guard.
I won’t be surprised if there’s a knockdown during the match, but expect that it’ll go the distance due to the durability and toughness of Duran, who already has 22 pro fights at just 28 years old.
