A preview analyzes the upcoming bout between Jack Maddalena and Carlos Prates. The author notes that Maddalena's style works best when pressing forward, and Prates struggles when forced to retreat, similar to his difficulties against Ian Garry. However, Maddalena lacks Garry's kicking and footwork abilities, forcing him to rely on boxing to control distance, which increases risk against Prates' power. The author points out that even if Maddalena wins early rounds, Prates remains dangerous until the final seconds, as demonstrated when he nearly finished Garry in round five despite losing the first four. The only path to victory for Maddalena is to pressure Prates for all 25 minutes while maintaining perfect defensive discipline, which the author considers unlikely. The author ultimately picks Prates to win.
