ATS PREDICTION

Shogo Tanaka Win

Predicted: 97-93

โšก87%

Shogo Tanaka enters this bout as a strong favorite due to his unblemished professional record of 5-0-0 with 3 KOs and an impressive amateur background. His technical proficiency, quick hands, and superior footwork are expected to give him a significant advantage over Kosuke Tomioka. Although Tomioka is more experienced, having fought 15 professional bouts, he has also suffered 4 losses, including a knockout defeat in 2022 which highlighted a vulnerability that Tanaka's aggressive style could exploit. Tanaka's recent trend of stopping opponents further reinforces his predicted dominance in this flyweight clash.

SPREAD PREDICTION

87%

Shogo Tanaka's superior technical skills, undefeated record, and strong amateur background are expected to result in a dominant performance.

Both Kosuke Tomioka and Shogo Tanaka possess significant finishing power, with high knockout percentages in their professional records.
