Tsuboi T. vs Ricardo Malajika

⚡️ Tsuboi may only be in his third year as a professional with just a handful of fights under his belt, but his extensive amateur pedigree has propelled the Japanese fighter rapidly towards title contention. Malaika, on the other hand, is the complete opposite: 19 pro bouts, 119 rounds, and a wealth of experience from high-level contests in South Africa. Up for grabs is the vacant WBC super flyweight belt.

It’s Malaika’s experience that urges caution against overly aggressive bets on the favorite. Tsuboi is the more technically gifted and rightly enters as the frontrunner, but his opponent knows how to weather tough spells and shouldn’t unravel after a shaky start. That’s why our pick is: over 9.5 rounds.
