James is a tough guy and not super easy to get out of there, but Mauricio probably will. He is an insanely good striker with movement that resembles prime Conor McGregor. James will likely be a punching bag here and this will be another showcase for the dangerous prospect in Ruffy.
Mauricio Ruffy
Mauricio Ruffy is a nasty striker with big fight ending power. He has 10 wins with 10 stoppages. He will throw heavy 1-2s and look for power. He isn't just a boxer though, he will launch kicks right up the middle and he will defend takedowns really well. We have seen him carry power to the 3rd round which was nice to see because we got a glimpse of his cardio and while it wasn't spectacular we know we won't death gas. He is coming off the win ver Jamie Mullarkey where the timing and speed were incredible. He even started to feel himself and try a scissor sweep takedown.
James Llontop
James Llontop is a well rounded guy with solid striking combinations and good body work. He doesn't look for offensive takedowns often but if he is taken down he has solid grappling and a great get up game. He has power in his hands and plenty of cardio so no need to worry that he is KO or bust. Overall he is a dangerous striker who can keep fights standing and avoid danger on the ground. He is not technical but has plenty of pressure. He coming off the close loss to Viaschlav Borschev.
