Prediction: Jin Sasaki by Stoppage
Result: Jin Sasaki by Points
The most logical outcome but I thought Sasaki could’ve got the stoppage with better punch variety. Sakai was really tough though and tried to win which you don’t usually see with a guy who has 14 losses going in. Good experience from Sasaki but he has a lot to work on.
