Prediction
A tough fight to predict as Hoon hasn’t really fought good competition and has shown a few holes. Barrett has more experience but on more than one occasion, he’s been the nail rather than the hammer. Barrett could very well win based on his cardio and experience alone. For me, though, his defense is too cracked and I think Hoon will catch him.
