DREW DOBER VS BOBBY GREEN LOWDOWN
Drew Dober (25-11(1)) has quickly picked off where he left off before getting submitted by Islam Makhachev (2021) and getting outpointed Brad Riddell (2021). Prior to those losses he knocked out Polo Reyes (2019), Nasrat Haqparast (2020) and Alexander Hernandez (2020). Now, he is coming off two more vintage knockouts over Terrance McKinney and Rafael Alves this year.
Bobby Green (29-13-1) also got fed to the current champ Makhachev. He was coming off two solid wins – a TKO over Al Iaquinta (2021) and unanimous decision over Haqparast (2022) and bravely stepped up on short notice to take on the current champ. Unfortunately for him, he inevitably got ragdolled and eventually TKO’d in the first round.
DREW DOBER VS BOBBY GREEN PREDICTION
What an incredible matchup this is between two striking veterans. They are exceptional boxers with Dober packing more power and Green boasting the better defence. He will also boast a slight height and reach advantage.
Green has the slicker technique and will be able to eat less shots and deliver more volume particularly from range. However, Dober can make up for the volume and defence with his power which is why he is the favourite.
So, we feel all the value is on a Green decision. Dober has a granite chin so the most likely outcomes are a Green decision or Dober knockout / decision. This is a tough one to call, and Green’s defence should prevent a knockout but Dober’s power could be enough to sway the judges.
