Conner Kelsall enters this Vacant European Flyweight Title bout with an unblemished record of 13-0-0, showcasing superior professional experience with 71 rounds under his belt compared to Joel Santos' 56 rounds. Kelsall's recent form is strong, having consistently won by decision, including a majority decision victory for the Commonwealth Flyweight title in June 2024. Santos, while possessing a higher knockout percentage at 25% compared to Kelsall's 7.69%, has a less extensive professional record of 8-0-2 with no detailed recent fight activity available for 2025 or 2026. The age difference, with Kelsall at 27 and Santos at 34, also favors the younger, more active Kelsall in a championship-length fight.

SPREAD PREDICTION

Conner Kelsall -4.5 Rounds (-4.5)

87%

Conner Kelsall's consistent decision victories and greater professional experience suggest he will win a significant number of rounds. Given his undefeated record and championship pedigree, a -4.5 round spread reflects his expected dominance over Joel Santos, whose recent form is unconfirmed and who has less professional fight experience.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Over 9.5

87%

Kelsall's low KO percentage (7.69%) and tendency to win by decision indicate that this fight is highly likely to go the distance or at least deep into the later rounds. While Santos has a higher KO percentage, his overall record and lack of recent detailed form make a quick finish less probable against an undefeated, durable opponent like Kelsall. Therefore, the fight is expected to go over 9.5 rounds.
