UFC Vegas 113: Dustin Jacoby vs. Julius Walker: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO victory for Jacoby over Walker because he’s the more technical and disciplined striker. Both are heavy punchers, but I think Jacoby can land his punches more effectively.
Walker likes to move forward and pressure his opponents against the fence, but he doesn’t attack them when they oblige in his pressure. Also, he leaves himself open to stiff jabs and one-two combinations because of his stance.
Jacoby can throw strong jabs and follow them up with an explosive straight punch down the middle, as Walker walks forward and doesn’t have the head movement to avoid such punches. Once Jacoby rocks him, he’ll immediately jump for the finish.
