I like this match
Barboza is gonna give him nasty leg kicks
Should not go 3 rounds
Always rooting for Njo, should hopefully have a solid stand up fight here.
I like this fight. Not only entertaining, but Njokuani should be a solid test for Barboza.
Those leg kicks from Barboza are nasty, and I can see Njokuani stepping up to challenge but eventually being chopped down. Barboza by TKO 2nd round.
this should be a good stand up war
