BKFC <\/strong>Nashville Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nathan Rivera -1800 vs Tray Martin +900\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t see an upset happening here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivera has looked outstanding in BKFC, compiling a 5-0 record while showing excellent boxing\u00a0 fundamentals. He uses his length well, has a fantastic jab, and does a great job avoiding clean\u00a0power shots. He’s one of the more polished prospects in the organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin has a unique stance that doesn’t really fit modern bare-knuckle boxing particularly well.\u00a0He won his lone BKFC fight, but it came against a low-level opponent and still went the\u00a0 distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s just a massive skill gap here. Rivera should control the fight from the opening bell and\u00a0 eventually find a finish. Rivera by knockout<\/strong> is the most likely outcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince McLean -130 vs Jeramy Karshner -110\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of those fights that could get weird in a hurry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McLean is 39 years old and fights exactly how you’d expect a brawler to fight. He moves  forward constantly, throws aggressively, and tries to force exchanges from the opening seconds.  Defense is often an afterthought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karshner, now 43, is the complete opposite. He has extensive boxing and kickboxing experience,  fights patiently, and likes to take his time finding openings. The question is how well that style  translates to BKFC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concern for Karshner is that he can’t afford to spend the first round downloading <\/p>\n\n\n\n

information. McLean is going to force action immediately and try to turn this into a war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll lean Karshner<\/strong>. McLean’s aggressive style creates excitement, but it also creates openings. In\u00a0bare knuckle, poor defense eventually catches up with you. If Karshner survives the early\u00a0 pressure, his experience and counter-striking should allow him to land clean shots and potentially\u00a0score a stoppage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BKFC Nashville Main Event: Tony Soto -240 vs JC Deleon<\/strong><\/strong> +165<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deleon only has two BKFC fights, but there are things to like about his game. In his debut, he  showed good movement, legitimate power, and finished the fight in the third round, proving his  cardio can hold up. It wasn’t a lucky knockout either\u2014he was doing damage throughout the fight  and breaking his opponent down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his second appearance, he got caught early and stopped by a quality opponent, but I still like\u00a0what I’ve seen from him overall, especially when working in close and in the clinch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soto is the more experienced BKFC fighter and has been in plenty of battles. He’s lost his last\u00a0 three fights, but all came by decision, including two losses to Ben Bonner, who is a very solid fighter. Soto relies more on speed and volume than raw power and generally wants to control the\u00a0pace rather than get dragged into a firefight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where Deleon becomes interesting. If Soto keeps things technical, he probably wins\u00a0rounds. If the fight turns into exchanges and chaos, Deleon has the advantage. Soto can be sloppy\u00a0defensively at times, and Deleon has the aggression and power to capitalize. Lean to the\u00a0underdog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
