She operates from a southpaw stance, and uses intelligent pressure to keep her opponent on the backfoot, cutting off their angles of escape, while swarming them with high volume flurries. Curiously Merino, 16-2, with 4 stoppages is similar, using pressure and ringcraft to win her bouts.

But momentum is on Hiruta's side, and she should win clearly.

The Prediction: Mizuki Hiruta via unanimous decision

#2. Super welterweight: Serhii Bohachuk vs. Mykal Fox

Serhii Bohachuk vs. Mykal Fox is the main event of the card, and there is a clear favorite. Bohachuk is more experienced, and far more powerful at 25-2, with 24 wins coming via TKO/knockout. He is aggressive and gives no quarter when pressuring his opponents with high-volume combinations.

Fox, by contrast, is the rangy technician who operates behind his jab, using his footwork to walk opponents into counters. It hasn't led to many stoppages, with just 5 across a 24-4 record. Look for Bohachuk to break him down over time in the super welterweight bout.

The Prediction: Serhii Bohachuk via late TKO
