Starfight Analysis
The analysis of the main fight reveals a high-caliber confrontation between two complete fighters. Anthony Smith highlights Silva’s technical ability, despite his playful style and low hands, considering him a technician with great power. Smith predicts a victory for Silva, foreseeing a promising future in the division.Din Thomas agrees on the difficulty of opposing Silva, pointing out the precision of his blows and the toughness of Lopes, who could resort to wrestling if he gets into trouble.Silva is clearly difficult to take down, his takedown defense has worked well. He submitted a dangerous black belt in his last fight. Diego is not a great wrestler and is hittable. But Silva is someone you can’t take too many shots from. Something that gets lost in all of Silva’s antics is his technical ability. He has his hands down and is playful, but he is a technician who has a lot of power. Not only does Silva win this fight, but I think he will go far in this division.
Anthony Smith
It’s hard to go against Silva. Lopes takes too many shots and Silva is too precise. I don’t think he knocks out Lopes because Lopes is tough, and if it comes to it, he’ll take the fight to the ground and play guard before allowing himself to be knocked out.
