Tabiti is wearing hipster glasses and gay earring whereas Dorticos is sporting bald head and also gay earrings. I think it's a legit 50/50 now. This content is protected
Still don't know much about Tabiti's actual level. USS was clearly past it when he beat him, so that's not much of a measuring stick, and Fayfer is probably his biggest win to date, but we don't know his level either. Going for safe, and say Dorticos dips him.
Yeah, Tabiti's a bit of an unknown. I think he's better than he's showed so far, and one of those fighters who has the ability to raise their game when it's needed. He's quick and explosive, and punches well off the back foot, and Dorticos can be a bit sloppy and predictable. If Tabiti can't hurt Dorticos or keep him off him then he's in trouble, but if he can sneak hard, sharp shots through Dorticos's sloppy guard and hurt him then he has a great chance.
Psst. I'm going to let you guys in on a secret. Gather in close, I'll whisper it to you... ...it doesn't matter one jot what happens in this one. The winner is going to be destroyed by either Briedis or Głowacki from the other side of the bracket in the WBSS finals. 100% guaranteed.
But we still wanna know who's going to be the poor dude in the final against either Briedis or Glowacki, right?! Just like speculating who was going to be trashed by Inoue in the bantam finals before the tourney started... It's just a thing.
I actually gave ManRod a decent chance against Inoue.. (or at least, more of a chance on paper than I give Dorticós or Tabiti versus either Briedis or Głowacki...)
Dorti-BOSS I think stops him 2nd half. He may be predictable but he is gonna overwhlem that cute style of Tabiti. If Tabiti ain't prepared to go into the trenches to keep Dorticos at bay, he is gonna get caught eventually.
