"Topuria definitely has a chance. I think from welterweight to welterweight, Elijah has the power and skills to knockout anyone. His timing, rhythm and power are incredible, but the size difference plays in favor of Elias and his wrestling. I've never seen Topuria live. I've fought Islam and he's a big guy. He's not going to be able to go down to welterweight. I've heard that Topuria weighs around 190 pounds (86 kg) between fights, but I think Islam is just too big and strong. If Elijah gets in, though, he can knock anyone out."
