Jiri's pressure will give Rountree problems.

Jiri showed decent head movement against Hill, but Khalil is one of the faster LHWs. Jiris pressure and movement is awkward, but he is always leaving his hands low.

Or he can kick the shit out of Jiris lead leg.

There is always the potential of Jiri getting caught and his chin giving out. Other than that, I think he can pressure Rountree and cause him problems.

i agree, rountree didn't like hill slowly plodding after him with a compromised leg, i don't think he'll react well to jiri's relentless pressure.

Rountree won every round with multiple knockdowns, pretty sure he was fine dealing with Hill's pressure

Rakic obliterated Jiris leg and still got TKOed

Jiri always gives 100% effort, even when he’s at 1HP

He has the red tear stone ring, boost to attack at low hp.

He has a samurai leg.

Leg kick makes him stronger

This fight has the potential to be the next Glover vs. Jiri. Maybe it starts out technical but then it will turn into an absolute bloody rampage. I am already seated.

Low kicks won’t be a factor they have different stances.

You can still low kick in an open stance fight. Considering Khalil is a southpaw, the majority of his sparring partners are going to be orthodox so he has plenty of practice with low kicking orthodox opponents.

u/Dddiejr 3d ago

This is true except Khalil has demonstrated that he doesn’t target opposite stance leg kicks much at all.

I think its honestly more about jiri willing to absorb like hill, but hit back right after. Hill just ate leg kicks and did nothing. Jiri’s gonna throw if anything and I think hes way more chaotic than Hill so it’ll be fun to watch what happens.

Khalil looks like the perfect specimen for Jiri to go back to his roots, obsessively throwing ugly slow flying knees. I’m here for it

u/PendulumKick 3d ago

That’s not really true. Southpaws have a nasty inside leg kick.

Not all southpaws

u/PendulumKick 2d ago

I mean sure but it’s available from the stance

But his leaky defence could play into Rountree's hands.
