Johnny Fisher vs. Michael Pirotton: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO win for Fisher over Pirotton, as he’s the heavy hitter and can walk the latter. Fisher uses his stiff jabs and powerful cross punches to back opponents up against the ropes before unleashing his signature combinations.
Pirotton is a very measured boxer who likes to fight on the outside and outbox opponents with quick jabs, hooks, and straight punches. He’s also very comfortable fighting on his back foot and doesn’t shy away from welcoming opponents to lunge forward.
Fisher is the perfect opponent that Pirotton wants: a forward-pressure boxer who throws bombs with his hands. But I think the difference between how Pirotton survived opposition with similar styles and Fisher is the power punches. I don’t think he’ll be able to survive the power punches that Fisher is about to unload on fight night.
