9/25

Considering Allen’s two previous opponents, it’s hard to criticize his performance. However, his accuracy in striking is low. He might be relying more on wrestling in this fight.

Allen will work on long bounces to land punch combos, then shift to the side and try to clinch. 

He can also avoid most of Giga's crazy low kicks, but he will lose time preparing for his next attack. If he gets the chance, he'll try to take the fight to the ground and quickly push his opponent to submit.

2/1

His main strategy in this fight is his powerful low and middle kicks. To keep Allen away, and more importantly, block his attacks, Giga needs to quickly kick Allen's legs and work as the "B-side" for the first 1.5 rounds. 

And as Allen begins to bend his body forward and lower his hands, Giga can use his straight punches to slow him down and potentially shock him.

However if Giga starts to slow down in the 3rd round, he'll likely take many punches and struggle to counter-attack. Managing his energy will lead him to victory.

Allen vs Chikadze Prediction

Allen's attacking style raises much more questions than Giga's boxing, we still choose Allen as the favourite. 

Giga looks more consistent, but he can be slow at times. His strategy is limited to a few punches and low kicks, and his wrestling skills are not very competitive.

Despite Giga's powerful offense and accuracy, Allen's chaotic and aggressive punches will likely earn him more points with the judges. With both fighters' knockout potential, we’re sure this fight will come down to the judges' decision. 

Our prediction: Allen wins by decision.
