Ion Cutelaba vs Devin Clark: Analysis

Cutelaba has had issues with his cardio in the later parts of a fight throughout his career. However, he has shown massive improvements recently and has been able to keep up his usual offensive game throughout the contest. Moreover, ‘The Hulk’ possesses very good knockout power in his game as well.

Clark doesn’t have a very good chin. This might play against him in this fight. Also, as ‘Brown Bear’ is not a very big fighter for the light-heavyweight division, Cutelaba might just be able to exploit those factors and get a T/KO finish in his favor this weekend.
