TANNER BOSER VS OVINCE SAINT PREUX LOWDOWN
Tanner Boser (19-8-1) is still steaming after his split decision loss to Ilir Latifi three weeks ago. It was a very close fight where a couple takedowns swayed the judges but the best remedy for Boser is to get back in the cage as soon as possible. After knocking out Philipe Lins and Raphael Pessoa in consecutive months last year, Andrei Arlovski stifled the momentum with a unanimous decision loss and after the recent split decision, Boser has a chip on his shoulder and ready to let his hands fly.
Ovince Saint Preux (OSP) (25-15) was originally scheduled to fight Maxim Grishin, but his visa issues left him without an opponent. However, if OSP ever needed to prove how game he is, he has done once again by accepting a fight up at heavyweight on short notice. He has had a rough ride recently going 3-5 in his last eight. After a vintage Von Flue choke on Michal Oleksiejczuk, he made his first appearance up at heavyweight but lost a unanimous decision to Ben Rothwell. He responded with a majestic knockout over Alonzo Menifield but is coming off a disappointing knockout loss to Jamahal Hill.
TANNER BOSER VS OVINCE SAINT PREUX PREDICTION
OSP’s last fight was disappointing because he decided to stand and trade with a knockout artist when he had a clear advantage in the grappling department. It was frustrating to watch and if he employs the same game plan, he is likely to suffer a similar fate.
Boser is a quality striker. He has heavy hands but moves like a 205er so he will be very confident taking on a light heavyweight. OSP is a big boy, but he has been preparing for Grishin so should be giving up some kg’s.
We know OSP is a beast on the feet and has knockout power, but he has to try and tie Boser up. Even though the Canadian is a heavyweight, he is likely to have the speed advantage and if OSP decides to stand and trade again, Boser will piece him and target his damaged chin.
OSP has a great chance if he approaches this smartly with a strategy, but we are not banking on that at all and predict a Boser win and potential knockout.
