Why Bet on Ilunga Makabu
Makabu may be going for his biggest fight since Tony Bellew, but he must turn back to an old foe in Mchunu.
He already dusted Mchunu and is the bigger and more powerful boxer, but he isn’t less technical, either.
Makabu is proficient and has an awkward style that can make him a difficult matchup.
He loves to fight at close range, which could also lead to his downfall, as we saw against Bellew.
Fortunately for Makabu, not all cruiserweights he fights are behemoths like Bellew.
Why Bet on Thabiso Mchunu
Mchunu got derailed after losing to Makabu, going 3-3. But after avenging his loss against Thomas Oosthuizen, Mchunu has been on fire.
Most impressively, he put on a clinic against Olympic gold medalist Evgeny Tishchenko and handed him his first pro loss.
This was right after beating former unified cruiserweight champ Denis Lebedev.
With his head back firmly on his shoulders, Mchunu will prove to be a tough test for the top cruiserweights, as his elusive and fleet-footed style gives him an edge.
Final Betting Analysis: Ilunga Makabu vs. Thabiso Mchunu
A última vez Makabu e Mchunu travada foi há quase sete anos e poucas pessoas fora da África podem ter ouvido falar ou visto isso.
Makabu finalizado Makabu in the 11th round in what was a fun back-and-forth.
Desde então, Makabu has gone 9-1-0, winning the cruiserweight title in 2020, while Mchunu has gone 7-4, though he has won four straight.
Contra canhões menores de 200 libras como Mchunu, Makabu não deve ter problemas em afirmar seu estilo.
Ele pode ter que se ajustar graças às melhorias Mchunu fez, mas soco por soco, Makabu tem uma vantagem considerável.
Ilunga Makabu é a nossa aposta para o confronto e acreditamos que isso vai acabar em paralisação tardia.
