Analysis: Prates favored over Della Maddalena despite stylistic challenges

An analytical breakdown of the Della Maddalena vs Prates fight suggests Prates is the likely winner despite Della Maddalena's pressure-fighting style potentially causing problems. The analysis notes that while Della Maddalena works well as a lead fighter and could pressure Prates (who struggles when pressured), Della Maddalena lacks the kicking game and footwork that Ian Garry used successfully against Prates. The post highlights that Prates remains dangerous until the final seconds, referencing how he nearly finished Garry in round five after losing four rounds. The analyst concludes that Della Maddalena would need to maintain perfect defensive discipline for 25 minutes while pressuring Prates, which seems unlikely given that even Belal Muhammad was able to land on him.
