This is a huge bout as both fighters are riding three-game losing skids. Oskar Piechota has dropped three straight and none made it to the third round. He comes off a bad performance against Punahele Soriano, losing by knockout in the first round. He's a slight favorite but hasn't won a fight since February of 2018, and 10 of his last 11 bouts have ended in the first or second round. A big problem here is that Piechota has a bad habit of keeping his chin up and leaving himself exposed. He faces a powerful puncher in Marc-Andre Barriault. Barriault has great strength, mixing in haymakers and uppercuts alongside his outstanding knockout power (eight knockout wins). 73 percent of his victories have ended via knockout. He's also a successful takedown artist when gaining the top position, then unleashing that power. He also possesses stamina, if needed, with his last three fights going the distance. However, this one is unlikely to, as the matchup favors Barriault to end it earlier using his aggressive strikes (3.53 significant strikes per minute) and power. Take Marc-Andre Barriault to win the fight and UNDER the total.
