<\/p>\nJack Catterall vs Shakhram Giyasov prediction<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Shakhram Giyasov is far from a pushover, but he is not yet near the level that either Josh Taylor or Arnold Barboza Jr. were at when they beat Catterall in their respective title fights. This fight is a true test of whether or not Catterall can get over the hump and become a world champion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although he is a smaller welterweight, Catterall’s fundamentally sound approach has only ever been solved by Taylor and Barboza, the two best fighters on his record. Catterall is preparing for just his third fight at 147 pounds, but the weight change seems to have come with increased power, as he is coming off his first stoppage victory since 2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like Catterall, Giyasov is a fundamental boxer who loves to pressure forward and let the fight come to him. Elite fundamentals are what fans expect from a former Olympian, yet many criticize Giyasov for leaning too much into his fundamentals and lacking a true finishing instinct. The Uzbek has just one knockout in his last six fights, which include a lot of matchups against underqualified opponents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Without much knockout power on either side, the fight has all the makings of a 12-round chess match, which seemingly plays into Catterall’s favor. ‘El Gato’ has fought the much better competition in recent years and has gutted out tight decisions against the likes of former champions Taylor, Jorge Linares and Regis Prograis. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Catterall is not necessarily a slow starter, but he tends to turn the volume and pressure up a notch in the fourth or fifth round of his fights before becoming a snowball rolling downhill.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While Giyasov can bank the early rounds, Catterall is an exceptional counter-puncher, which has been an issue throughout the former’s career. As tight as Giyasov’s combinations are, he leaves his head on the center line and has been susceptible to counters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In what should be the most competitive fight of the ‘Glory in Giza’ fight card, expect Catterall to pull away late and win his first world title on the scorecards.<\/p>\n
