Hitchins vs Kambosos Jr fight prediction

Richardson Hitchins is brimming in confidence as he looks to protect his undefeated record against Kambosos. He is the younger fighter and standing at 178 cm, holds a 3 cm height advantage over Kambosos.

Kambosos, meanwhile, is certainly the more experienced fighter. He has taken on some world class names during his career, which Hitchins hasn't.

Neither fighter possesses blistering power and the fight could turn out to be a matter of range control. Hitchins being the taller fighter with a better reach certainly has the advantage on paper and might look to establish authority using his jab early.

The reach difference could turn out to be too big of an obstacle for Kambosos to overcome as Hitchins could keep him at bay and manage to take home a decision win from the fight.

Result: RIchardson Hitchins via decision
