Usman gave his prediction for Pereira's fight with Rountree
Kamaru Usman gave his prediction for Alex Pereira's upcoming bout with Khalil Rountree.
AUNTREE."I'm going to surprise everyone by saying Khalil Rountree is shocking the world. He's very explosive, powerful, his Muay Thai skills are unbelievable. And when he throws his punches, he finds your face. Rountree has a problem with pace. He gets laid out too quickly and gives away the initiative. So I'm worried about how he'll do in the championship rounds, if the fight comes down to that, of course.... If the fight comes down to exchanges, Khalil has a good chance [to hit well], just like the other guys in the division. Alex Pereira is the king of Brazil, he does his thing and I like him. But Khalil has everything to shock the world," Bloody Elbow quoted Kamaru as saying.
