“It’s going to be an interesting fight. Glover showed that he is tough and has what it takes to be a champion. He deserves it because of his story, I've known him for a long time and he's a top-notch piece of shit. The champion is always the favorite, but it will be a tough fight for him. I believe that, during the fight – if Glover manages to take him down – he may be able to get a knockout. He has a strong punch, but grappling would be a great way for Glover. Favoritism of the champion, but Glover has everything to take if he can take it to the ground”, analyzed the coach.

“Blachowicz is a little faster and his dodge skills are up to scratch. But, if Glover puts it down, there's no way. His jiu-jitsu is very good, his wrestling is tough. He won't be knocked out, as it will be the same as (the fight against) Marreta. If a hand comes in, he takes it down. If you mount it, that's it. Glover has everything to finish,” said the athlete.

“Tough fight. They have a similar style. They both like to box a lot and are good on the ground too. I think Glover (Teixeira)'s wrestling is better and Jan's (Blachowicz) boxing is better. I'm rooting for Glovão, but my bet is 60% to 40% for Jan, for the moment. He’s in a slightly better moment”, said Marreta, who has already faced both athletes.

“I think the fight is tough for both of them. I don't know the Glover Teixeira, but I've never seen anyone say anything bad about him. He seems like a great man. But we are here to talk about the fight. It's a fight that I find difficult to give an opinion on, as they are two very good guys, with heavy hands. But I'm going with a very small advantage to Glover Teixeira. As there are two strikers, it's either a fight, or it's a warm fight. But I find it difficult to have five rounds. Almost impossible”, said the native of Paraíba.

“I really want Glover to win. I trust him a lot and know him as a person. He has a tough time ahead of him, but based on his experience, he really deserves the victory. I want a knockout, but I believe there will be a five-round fight and he will take the belt”, concluded the fighter.
