Dana and Paramount really want Pereria to win as theres big fights to make after - maybe Bones maybe Aspinall both superfights .. Ank wins n we get Ank vs Jiri or Ulberg for title. Ank loses we get the same thing .
If Pereria wins Pereria v Bonea headlines WH1. Or WH1 gets Conor v Chandler if Pereria loses.
Feel for Ank a bit. Fighting Pereria here will be like fighting Julio Caesar Chavez in his day or Canelo in his prime - you got to ko him to win as your only winning a decision if your blowing him out.
Optics now I favor Ank. Hes the more relaxed and confident fighter. Pereria seems like he got civilized and his heads not in right place . Quiet killer stone Pereria who threw out one liners every so often was great was much cooler - this Pereria nowhere near as good.
