Matchup Analysis

This bout pits Oumiha’s technical finesse against Fonseca’s raw power and experience. Oumiha must use his reach and movement to avoid exchanges, while Fonseca will look to close the distance and test the Frenchman’s chin. Fonseca’s 29 KOs suggest danger if Oumiha gets caught, but the Frenchman’s amateur pedigree and ring IQ could neutralize that threat if he controls the pace.
