Who y’all got? Topuria prolly wins but I hope Holloway does cause I can low key see a max vs Islam super fight at 155 in the future
He doesn't exactly need to finish with a punch. In the fight against Gaethje he threw a kick and broke Gaethje's nose at the end of the first round. This certainly compromised Gaethje in the fight (the eye pokes too).
Holloway will have to kick a lot, and avoid the boxing exchanges. Every average boxer that Holloway faced, he took a lot of blows to the head. He won't be able to avoid it against Topuria, so he'll probably be caught and Topuria could end up with ground and pound.
Topuria is great but I wouldn’t say he’s the better boxer of the two, I mean they had Topuria dodge Max up to the belt for a reason. If Topuria try’s to keep it on the feet I have Max in 4, he has decent jujitsu if he can manage Max’s speed I think he can win the decision let’s also not forget Max has been knocked down 0 (actually 1) time and it was againsr Gatheje. Don’t know when Max became the underdog but I see this as more 50/50 even 60/40 Max, Topuria is not a better striker
