One Cordina vs Cacace prediction we feel confident about is that this fight for the IBF and IBO World Super Featherweight title might steal the show in Riyadh, Saubi Arabia this weekend.
These two world-class European fighters have been on a collision course for what feels like years. And by the end of this Joe Cordina vs Anthony Cacace prediction, you’ll have a better understanding of which guy should have the upper hand on Saturday.
Cordina vs Cacace Prediction: Will the Title Change Hands?
Joe Cordina Preview
Joe Cordina — a Welsh fighter with an undefeated 17-0 professional record, which includes 9 KO victories — is on a rocket ship to superstardom.
Cordina’s most recent fight against Edward Vasquez proves just how devastating of a boxer Cordina can be, when he’s on his game.
In that bout, Cordina showed a major speed advantage over his opponent. This is typically what we see from Cordina, regardless of who he’s fighting, and remains one of his best assets inside the ring.
Another signature of Cordina’s style is that he invests a lot in body work during the fight’s earlier rounds. Sending solid left hooks and right straights to the stomach makes Cordina’s opponents tired, and causes them to lower their arms in order to protect against these brutal shots.
And this creates opportunities for Cordina to land to the head later on.
Our Cordina vs Cacace prediction is that Cordina will rely on these same advantages on Saturday. While he might not be the most powerful fighter, we feel certain that he’ll be the quicker one. And that advantage has served him well over the years.
Anthony Cacace Preview
Anthony “The Apache” Cacace — a Northern Irish boxer with a 21-1 professional record, which includes 7 KO victories — has set himself up for the opportunity of a lifetime this weekend.
Listening to Cacace’s pre-fight interviews with media makes it clear that he understands the stakes involved in this weekend’s fight.
And the fighting style that “The Apache” employs presents a pathway for him to produce an upset and win the IBF and IBO World Super Featherweight belts this weekend.
While Cacace might not have the same athleticism and natural talent that Cordina possesses, he makes up for that disadvantage with a ton of heart and grit.
He is always willing to enter a firefight, and isn’t afraid to take a few punches in order to land a few of his own.
And our Joe Cordina vs Anthony Cacace prediction is that this may serve him well this weekend.
Our Cordina va Cacace Prediction: Cordina Seals The Victory
Our official Cordina vs Cacace prediction is that Joe Cordina will win by decision — which is currently available at -115.
Because neither of these two fighters have very many knockouts in their professional careers, a decision seems like the most likely outcome for either fighter. And since we favor Cordina’s skillset, we believe he’ll be the winner.
We also think that taking the fight to go the distance — currently available at -210 — is worth looking into.
