Chandler looks ready to fight right now. Olivera took off his glasses and didn't focus on Chandler's eyes right away, and he shifted his eyes away again before the separated while Chandler had a smirk on him.

Ferguson didn't take off his glasses and Dariush is calm and just staring in a stoic way. Even with the dark shades on Ferguson looked down and started playing with whatever he was holding and started pumping his right arm. It's a nervous tick he tries to hide with whatever he is holding, he used to hold a baseball for this reason before.

Just analysis of their confidence level at this very moment, but things can change during the fight. Some gain more confidence during the fight while others lose it during the fight. Like Canelo seemed a bit nervous leading up to the fight with Saunders with pre-fight training, walking out, and 1st round. But once he felt Saunders power and saw his speed Canelo got comfortable because he knew he could deal with it and opened up in the 2nd round.
