It would look like the Izzy vs Poatan fight and could end one of those two ways. Either Poatan gets overzealous and walks into a counter, which he seems to have obviously learned from as he's decimated the weightclass above, or he chops the legs, stalks, and eventually finds a TKO against the fence while Cyril tries to play at kicking distance.Honestly, how can anyone deal with those calf kicks? That is what really makes Alex so special. He absolutely destroys your leg and does it with very low amount of kicks. And for guys who rely on extreme movement, it really fucks them. Which is what would happen to Gane. I think Tom could deal with it by being super aggressive, whether that works for him or not will yet to be seen, but not sure Gane has it in him. And after that it would be all Alex unless Gane catches him with something big.
Tom is the most dangerous fight for Poatan at HW, as he is a smart fighter and himself said he'd be football tackling Poatan at the bell, and he's younger and naturally larger, something Alex hasn't faced in his career very often as he's a huge dude.
