BK Nation is back with another round of predictions!
November 9th is yet another gift from the bare knuckle gods, with BOTH of the North American bare knuckle organizations, BYB and BKFC putting on cards. As usual, The Nation is here to put its two cents in with both BYB and BKFC predictions for all three of the world championship fights set to take place!
BKFC Montana: (c) Kai Stewart vs. Jimmie Rivera - BKFC Featherweight Championship
Kai Stewart (6-0, 2 KO) is set to defend his title for the third time when he faces UFC Veteran Jimmie Rivera (2-1-1). This is a fight that has been brewing for quite some time with Rivera even entering the ring after Stewart’s win over Bryan Duran earlier this year. Stewart has steadily improved in every fight, and now sits as one of the most complete bare knucklers in the game today. Rivera will be at a significant height disadvantage, but he has shown to be very explosive and cover ground quickly.
Adam Hunt: Stewart DEC
Jag Kang: Stewart DEC
Dillon Goldsmith: Stewart KO
Cole Whiston: Stewart KO
BYB 33: Marko Martinjak vs. Brad Scott - BYB Police Gazette Super Cruiserweight World Diamond Belt
Multi-time world champion Marko Martinjak (9-2, 9 KO) will face off with Brad Scott (3-0-1, 3 KO) for the vacant BYB Police Gazette Super Cruiserweight Diamond Belt. Martinjak has scored a knockout in every single one of his wins including a thunderous stoppage of Kevin Greenwood earlier this year. Scott however, despite being less experienced in bare knuckle, is yet to taste defeat and he also collected a KO in each of his wins.
Adam Hunt: Martinjak KO
Jag Kang: Martinjak KO
Dillon Goldsmith: Martinjak KO
Cole Whiston: Martinjak KO
Dan Podmore vs Ryan Barrett - BYB Police Gazette Bridgerweight World Diamond Belt
Former BKB Heavyweight Champ Dan Podmore (7-3, 7 KO) is set to make his debut under the new BYB banner when he faces Ryan Barrett (5-4, 5 KO) for the Bridgerweight title. This is a rematch more than two years in the making, with Podmore holding a 1-0 lead, however that bout took place at heavyweight. Both guys are not afraid to take punishment in order to dish out some of their own, and if their first fight is any indication of what’s to come, this one is can’t miss!
Adam Hunt: Ryan Barrett KO
Jag Kang: Podmore KO
Dillon Goldsmith: Podmore KO
Cole Whiston: Podmore KO
