Kupoa10 Boxing Tips

Johnson has quietly put together momentum recently, and when he’s sharp, his speed and boxing fundamentals are enough to beat a lot of lightweights. Hernandez can absolutely win if he mixes in wrestling and forces ugly clinch minutes, but that game has to be consistent for three rounds. I’ll take Johnson to land the cleaner combinations and win a decision if he keeps the fight mostly standing.

On paper, Gautier looks like the higher-upside athlete/finisher profile, while Pulyaev is the steadier kickboxing-style technician who looks for clean shots at range. If Gautier can win the first big exchange and force Pulyaev into reactive defense, this can snowball quickly. I’m backing the younger, more explosive momentum side to get the bigger moments and likely a stoppage or clear decision.

This is a classic “elite grappling control vs explosive veteran finishing.” Umar’s biggest edge is chain wrestling and top control. If he’s consistently putting Deiveson on his back, he can win rounds without taking huge risks. Figueiredo is dangerous in scrambles and can punish mistakes with power or submissions, but I expect Umar’s pace and positional discipline to neutralize most of that over three rounds.

At heavyweight, Lewis is always live because one clean connection can erase two rounds of work. Waldo’s safest route (point-fighting at range) still requires perfect discipline. If Lewis can force Waldo to trade in the pocket even a few times per round, that’s the danger zone??'uppercuts and the right hand change everything. Cortes-Acosta tends to give looks when he resets after combinations, and Lewis is great at detonating in those brief windows. I’m backing Lewis’ knockout equity to land the defining moment before Waldo can settle into a low-risk rhythm.

Jean Silva brings chaos??'pressure, power, and a willingness to make every exchange a fight??'but that can also feed into Allen’s strengths if Arnold keeps composed. Allen is typically the cleaner, more efficient striker, and he’s better suited to win minutes with control, counters, and smart clinch/wrestling mixes. If Silva can force wild firefights, he can flip this. But I trust Allen’s structure to bank rounds and avoid the big momentum swing.

Pimblett’s best path is very clear: turn this into a messy clinch-and-grapple fight where he can chain takedowns, force scrambles, and hunt the back. If he survives the early leg-kick/pressure storm, Gaethje’s moments often come in bursts, while Paddy can keep piling on control time and make every exchange “high-variance.” Pimblett’s submission threat is real if Gaethje ever over-commits in a scramble, and over 25 minutes I like the upset angle of Paddy winning minutes on the mat and stealing rounds.
