Khalil Rountree Jr - Alex Peru

Risky but clearly stated bet, Khalil said that the fight would be standing and according to his fight record - he tells the truth. Both dangerous, Khalil has excellent Muay Thai skills, but in his past fights he was psychologically weak, he himself said that he has rediscovered his fighter spirit, although he hasn't fought with particularly good fighters, his memorable fight with Karl Roberson showed that he found weaknesses in his opponent's defense and turned on his highest gear at the beginning of the second round and won by knockout, which he wouldn't have been able to do before - a great example of that is Cutelaba. There's not much to say about Alex, he's currently a top-level UFC kickboxer, it's clear that he needed time to adapt to the 4-ounce gloves and slightly change his style, his fight with Bruno Silva and the last three fights are very different, he can no longer block strikes like in Glory kickboxing, so now I would say he has become more aggressive: his combinations are finished with a left hook or a knee, straight punches are also very dangerous, even his jab is like Gennady Golovkin's (power jab according to boxing metrics), he cuts angles well, and if the opponent is only thinking about the left punch, he also throws leg kicks, which are very hard to notice because his hips don't move much. However, from a defensive standpoint, Ben doesn't shine either with his head movement or keeping his hands down, as we saw in his MMA fight with Adesanya, which is favorable for betting.
