“Anything can happen in this heavyweight fight. O Derrick Lewis He has a very heavy hand and can end the fight at any moment. We've seen some fights where he was the underdog and landed a bomb. But if I had to bet, I would go with Cyryl Gane, who is a much more skilled guy, very good at striking, a bigger guy, agile and with a lot of gas”, he said.

“In my opinion, the Frenchman is the one who wins the fight (Cyryl Gane). Not the North American. He even has his value, but he's a guy who just has that touch. But the Frenchman has more intelligence, more game, he is younger and with great energy. With every fight he's having, he's impressing the crowd. So, I think the French will do it,” he said.

“As we already know, fights between heavyweights where there is no more hair growth. They are two complete guys. Gane has been growing a lot at the event and the Derrick Lewis It cannot be underestimated. His hand, until the last minute, is heavy. So, he's a guy who has to be very careful. But I believe that Gane has a very compact game (…). My opinion is that, in this fight, Gane wins by knockout”, he analyzed.

“I think the favorite for this fight is Cyryl Gane. Although the last fight wasn't a knockout, he's a guy who has a heavy hand, is very versatile and knows how to move a lot. And the Derrick Lewis He's a guy who relies on a single hand and depends on just one hand. But I don't think he will be able to face the 'one punch' on Gane. I imagine that Gane will be able to accelerate the fight and get the knockout, perhaps in the third or fourth round,” he said.

“Heavyweight fight and one blow can solve everything. But, in my opinion, the Cyryl Gane is a guy a little more complete and technical than the Derrick Lewis. But it's that thing: heavyweight, if he got in, he took him down. But, if the Cyryl Gane If you enter with the correct strategy and manage to cancel the hand, you have a great chance of winning”, he concluded.
