Al Iaquinta vs. Jorge Masvidal was a great fight to see just how much heart Al Iaquinta has, he got lit up and cut in the first round but went on and outworked the better boxer with bigger size, he wont be a match for Khabib thou who is going to compact his already small frame down and that will be all she wrote, but he is no bum by any stretch the imagination,
last fight KO of Diego Sanchez is about as impressive as ordering a soya lattie from star bucks as it pertains to any thing, but a decision win over a strand up guy Jorge Masvidal, KO Joe Lauzon, ko Ross Pearson, being a Purple belt under Matt Serra who is Diana whites right hand man, so this match up has under tones like its known Al is good enough to make it completive... but ultimately this fight wont put in danger the mega money fights further down the road. This match up is to play out we see Khabib strut his stuff and his stuff is he wins inside of 3rds, it could reach up into the 4th but that will be it imo.
Khabib would be wise to enjoy a little on the feet then get down to Business of ending the fight second half of the first or in the 2nd round but I think if it gets out of the 1st it will get out of the 2nd, but then the 3rd is a whole other level of heat getting turned up, that right there is 3rd round is the wrong place to be.
Al Iaquinta is full of the right stuff but too small, Khabib will end this inside the distance, I cant see it entering the 4th round,
