Sometimes, when picking out a fight to make a prediction on, many things come into play.
This week I chose the WBA title fight between Anselmo Moreno and Lorenzo Parra, taking place in Moreno’s native country, Panama. One of the things that make this fight interesting and difficult to predict is that Parra is from the neighboring country next door, Venezuela, so if there is a hometown edge here, it’s very difficult to find 다운로드.
Moreno, 25, a southpaw, sports a record of 30-1 (10 KO’s) with 4 of his past 6 wins coming on split decisions. In short, he does well in close fights.
Parra, 32, 31-2-1 (18), has faced tougher foes and appears to be the better banger of the two combatants, although neither shows real knockout power 다운로드.
At 5’8”, Moreno does have a significant size advantage.
So how does one break down a contest like this? Well, it’s not easy, which is why I chose this one to make the prediction on.
Based on facing tougher opponents and showing the power edge, I think this fight goes to Parra by decision, but it won’t be easy 세인트세이야 오메가 다운로드. This is a fight, and a decision that I think I would enjoy seeing.
There is also the ever-present danger of a cut stopping the bout as often happens when a conventional fighter takes on a southpaw. Head butts are common with conventional fighters taking on southpaws, particularly when there’s a significant size advantage.
I won’t talk myself out of making the tough call here 다운로드. Parra by decision!
