NICK MAXIMOV VS JACOB MALKOUN LOWDOWN
Fighting out of Chico, USA, Nick Maximov (8-1) will be looking to get back in the win column after suffering the first defeat of his professional career last time out against Andre Petroski. Currently, 2-1 with the promotion, a win this weekend for Maximov will certainly do him the world of good heading into 2023.
As for this weekend’s opponent, Jacob Malkoun (6-2) is also desperate to get back in the win column this weekend. Last time out, Malkoun was defeated by Brendan Allen by decision. Malkoun is currently 2-2 since signing with the promotion and he will be itching to establish some consistency going forward.
NICK MAXIMOV VS JACOB MALKOUN PREDICTION
Heading into this weekend’s middleweight showdown, Maximov will have both the height and reach advantage.
It is fair to say that this fight is going to go two ways. Either Maximov will lie on Malkoun for the duration of the fight or Malkoun will do the absolute same. Both men have really failed to show off their submission threat since signing with the company. If the fight stays on the feet, Malkoun has some decent boxing. However, from the off, we suspect that Maximov will be the pacesetter and look to assert his dominant gameplan early and look to score favourably with the judges.
