Andreas Cortes recent form
Cortes (24-0, 13 KOs) recently departed Top Rank and inked a deal with Zuffa Boxing. Unbeaten in his career so far, Cortes’ best wins have come against Abraham Nova, Bryan Chevalier, and Xavier Martinez.
Cortes is a high-volume puncher who excels at picking his punches. He is defensively savvy and an accomplished counter-puncher. It’s going to be interesting to watch his progression under the Zuffa banner.
Eridson Garcia recent form
Garcia (23-1, 14 KOs) has shown his effectiveness at fighting on the inside and outside. He’s a sharp counter-puncher, and this was seen last time out, in his impressive split decision victory against Taiga Imanaga.
Andreas Cortes vs Eridson Garcia
Cortes vs Garcia is a fascinating prospect. Cortes will bring the pressure, but whether he can carry enough power, moving up to lightweight, remains to be seen. Garcia is not a volume puncher, but he’s accurate with everything he throws and has the power to hurt Cortes. We are going for Garcia to win by unanimous decision.
