Bakhodir Jalolov vs. Jack Mulowayi: Prediction

The fight on Friday seems better suited for Bakhodir Jololov, who boxes with a careful amateur style. Mulowayi has a looser, more open style which leaves him susceptible to straight punches.

Mulowayi is a good fighter and is on a good streak. However, he is older than the Uzbek fighter and does not have much more pro ring experience. Meanwhile, the younger man has had a highly successful amateur career and has stopped all opponents to date.

Jalolev is likely to maintain control of the range, land precise punches through open guard, and end the fight early.

Prediction: Jalolov via knockout.
