Predicted: 78-74
โก87%
Emre Cukur enters this bout with a superior professional record of 26 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, including 7 KOs, demonstrating a higher level of experience and consistent performance compared to John Serunjogi's 15-4-0 record with 7 KOs.

If Cukur is to secure a late stoppage, his sustained pressure and Serunjogi's potential to tire in the later rounds of an 8-round fight could lead to a TKO in the final two rounds.
