Predictions for Friday Night Fights Muay Thai "Yarborough vs. Valtellini"

Friday Night Fights Muay Thai: Yarborough vs. Valtellini will take place on Friday, March 9th. With three pro fights on tap here we go with our predictions for the event.

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.

Predictions: Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 4"

With Lion Fight Promotions "Battle in the Desert 4" is taking place this weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, it's time for predictions. This is one of the more difficult fight cards as far as predictions go as of late. The fights are all very evenly matched and picking a winner wasn't an easy task. As always don't go bet the house as the sports book, these are fights and anything can happen.

The night will feature three WBC Muay Thai title bouts including the main event between Chaz Mulkey and Simon Chu. The fight will be Mulkey's first title defense of his WBC Muay Thai international middleweight title. The other two title bouts will feature Malaipet vs. Jose Palacios for the WBC Muay Thai national welterweight title and Coke Chunhawat vs. Rami Ibrahim for the WBC Muay Thai lightweight national title.

WBC International Middleweight Championship
Chaz Mulkey (7-4) vs. Simon Chu (29-7)

The Matchup: Mulkey will be looking to successfully defend his WBC Muay Thai international title for the first time when he takes on the UK's Simon Chu. His win over Remy Bonnel to claim the title was as close as a fight could get so he will likely be trying to make his first defense a more decisive one.
