Shawn Yarborough vs. Joseph Valtellini
Yarborough should be the toughest test of Valtellini’s young career. Yarbrough typically fights in the 175lb weight class and packs power in his fist and feet. Valtellini is known for his power, but has yet to take on an opponent the size of Yarborough. None of Valtellini’s fights have gone the distance and he keeps a fast pace throughout his fights as opposed to Yarborough who is more methodical in his approach. Valtellini should be able to out work Yarborough throughout the fight, but needs be careful because one strike from Yarborough could change the fight in a heartbeat. Valtellini won’t be able to finish Yarborough, who has yet to be stopped in his pro career. Instead Valtellini will have to settle for a decision win to keep his perfect record in tact.
Result: Joseph Valtellini by Decision
Josh Sampo vs. Ognjen Topic
Topic is a future champion in the making. Technical and precise with his strikes, he is a handful for anyone that steps into the ring with him. Sampo will test Topic in what will be a back and forth fight from start to finish. Despite Sampo having his moments in the fight, Topic will be able to use his technique and skill to pull out a decision victory.
Result: Ognjen Topic by Decision
Kevin Horowitz vs. Marcus Fisher
Fisher is a handful for any opponent because of his physical strength. If he wraps his arms around you, then your clinch game better be exquisite, otherwise you’re in for a long night. Horowitz best chance of winning this fight will be to avoid the clinch and force Fisher into striking exchanges where he can hope to get a knockout. Despite all his efforts, this fight is going to go where Fisher wants it to. If he wants to fight in the clinch then it will be fought in the clinch and if he wants to stand and bang then that is what will happen. Whichever method he chooses, expect Fisher to come out on top via decision.
Result: Marcus Fisher via decision.
