Prediction
Worldwide, Basharat is one of my favorite prospects. I have legit high expectations for Basharat, as what I’ve seen from him as of now is top 15 level. The only concern is that he’s looked outstanding against weaker competition. He’s beat guys with a 5-0 and an 11-1 record, but those are the only two opponents with a winning record that Basharat has fought.
On paper, Kahlon has beat better records but his opponents are arguably worse. Mainly fighting in Israel, Kahlon has never fought anyone who could really be considered decent globally. Not to mention, he’s already 36 and hasn’t fought in over two years. While Kahlon has impressed at times, I believe Basharat is several steps above. Right now the money line isn’t too high to bet Basharat. Considering how high I am on him I would recommend betting on him.
