Prediction
While Perry is indeed a formidable adversary, it’s important to note that Paul and his team have been meticulous in their fight selection, indicating a strategic reason for choosing Perry as an opponent for the upcoming Tyson fight. Despite Perry’s reputation for power, recent fights show a decline in stoppages, with his wins in BKFC attributed to causing facial damage rather than knockout blows. It is unlikely that Perry will achieve a stoppage against a significantly larger opponent with bigger gloves. Perry’s aggressive style results in him getting hit frequently, making it probable for Paul to win by decision due to the protective nature of boxing gloves. Contrary to expectations, we anticipate Paul to secure a stoppage by landing powerful shots when Perry moves forward aggressively.
