JULIO ARCE VS MONTEL JACKSON LOWDOWN
Fighting out of New Jersey, USA, Julio Arce (18-5) will be looking to establish some consistency in his game when he returns to the cage this weekend. Currently, 3-2 in his last five outings, Arce’s form has been very stop-start over the last few years. However, he is coming off of a decision win over Daniel Santos and will be aiming to make it two wins on the bounce.
As for Arce’s opponent this weekend, Montel Jackson (11-2) will be returning to the cage for the first time in over a year. Coming off of a win over JP Buys, Jackson is currently riding a two fight winning streak and it is fair to say that he will be full of confidence as he looks to keep his good run of form going.
JULIO ARCE VS MONTEL JACKSON PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s bantamweight bout, Jackson will have the advantage in both the height and reach departments.
On his day, Arce is a very entertaining individual. With that being said, it is fair to say that he will be in for a tough night at the office when he steps in with Jackson this weekend. Jackson is quite big for his weight category and will look to use his power to his advantage. Despite lacking slightly on the technical side, Jackson’s physical ability certainly makes up for it. From the off, Arce will look to take the fight to the floor. However, we suspect that Jackson will use his height and reach to keep the fight on the feet and look for a finish or a comfortable decision victory.
