Predicted: Abdus-Salaam by KO/TKO in Round 3

⚡85%

Zahir Abdus-Salaam (1-0) enters this bout with a perfect professional record and the momentum of a fighter early in his career, having made his professional debut recently in October 2025 after a hiatus for college football. His opponent, Josue Silva (3-5, 1 KO), holds a considerably less favorable record, indicating a potential skill and experience disparity at the professional level. Given Abdus-Salaam's undefeated start and stated ambition to become a world champion, he is expected to be highly motivated and aggressive. Silva's losing record and lower knockout percentage (1 KO in 8 bouts) suggest he may struggle against a determined opponent. Therefore, Abdus-Salaam is favored to secure a victory, likely by stoppage, as he looks to build his professional resume.
