    If max wins its because he stayed away and used his whole arsenal and stays disciplined all 5 rounds. Hes not gonna come forward and throw high volume and wear kattar down. He does that hes getting stopped.
    Great fight. I think after being robbed max might fight a stupid fight.
    I dont care about porier holloway at 155 it means nothing. Holloway is huge. Hes way more durable at 155 then he is 145. Porier was also a145 er that moved up. Kattar has more power at 145 then porier ever dreamed of having. More tech on his punches aswell.

    I think Kattar can beat Holloway this weekend. This is Kattar's chance to really make a statement. Let's see what happens. I say Kattar by tko.

    I’d make Holloway a slight favourite but that outcome wouldn’t surprise me. Kattar is a good finisher and who knows where Max’s head is after losing his title to AV.

    Pick em' fight. I have a small bet on Kattar +182. Holloways path is clearly leg kicks and switching stances + high volume. Kattar isn't a great round winner. He lost rounds to several low level guys due to his low output. If he comes forward and pressures i can see him having plenty of success though.

    He's a slow starter but really gets going once he figures you out. He would have finished Zabit in a 5 round fight and it's on record that the latter ducked a rematch. I think he'll drop the first round or two while still holding his own before coming on strong in the 3rd-4th rds and closing the show. Kattar TKO 4 is my official prediction.

    Kattar only chance is if he catches him.. Holloway was a way wider skill set. if he stays away Kattar takes a beating like ortega did.

    Kattar is a better boxer. We shall see. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong.

    Eat my words. Max was absolutely brilliant. Kattar showed heart and toughness.but he was outclassed tonight. Holloway absolutely deserves a 3rd crack at Volkanovski.

    DC was very disrespectful on the mic. 100% he wouldn't be asking for this fight to be stopped if he or one of his boys was in there.

    Good words from Kattar. If you aren't a Max Holloway fan you're a hater. 100% fact.
