Walt Harris vs Marcin Tybura: Analysis
Harris has fast hands and possesses legitimate knockout power in the first round of the fight. But Tybura has made a habit of beating fighters of the same caliber as Harris. He has a good chin and a weird way of defending shots that seem to work in his favor.
Also, ‘Big Ticket‘ has a big problem with his cardio. That has been more than evident from his recent fights. He gasses out after letting his hands go for a flurry of punches once or twice.

Tybura should be able to go through the early fire and work Harris. Eventually, ‘Tybur’ should gas his opponent out on his way to glory.
Final Prediction: Marcin ‘Tybur‘ Tybura T/KO Round 2.
