    ⭐ Editorial Prediction

    We believe Karen Chukhadzhian stands a strong chance of victory, thanks to his superior footwork and experience in twelve-round bouts. The Ukrainian’s ability to make aggressive punchers miss will be key in neutralizing Donovan’s early pressure and power. Donovan’s defensive lapses and tendency to lose composure in high-stakes moments could play right into Chukhadzhian’s tactically disciplined approach. We expect Karen to outbox his opponent with sharp timing and accurate jabs, securing a convincing win on points.
