Thiago Moises (19-9-0) faces Gauge Young (10-3-0) in a lightweight clash on Saturday night in Winnipeg, Canada. It is a matchup of fighters looking to get some consistency in the win column and try to move their way into the rankings.
Moises is 3-3 in his last 6 fights. All 3 of his losses have come against respectable opponents. In 2 of his last 3 fights, he has made it to a decision. Maybe it is the maturity in his game that has allowed him to find a comfortable pace instead of trying to force things early.
Like Moises, Young has been inconsistent over his last handful of fights. He lost decisions to Salkilld and Elder but also picked up wins over Eric Grant and, most recently, Maheshate. 3 of those last 4 fights went to a decision. Young, like Moises, seems to be comfortable lately heading into a 3rd round out of about.
This fight seems a bit too tough to decide on the outcome. However, both fighters have shown the ability to go deep into their fights lately. This one should get into the 3rd round, and that is likely more predictable than who the winner will be.
