Brando Pericic

TKO · Round 1 or 2

Pericic’s physical tools and finishing power make him the reliable pick. His size advantage and recent momentum should translate into a relatively comfortable performance against a developing UK heavyweight. Sutherland’s home crowd gives him a psychological edge, but the structural talent gap at 265 pounds is difficult to overcome through motivation alone. Expect Pericic to finish this in the first two rounds if the fight plays out as the odds suggest.

Confidence: 6.5 / 10
