I think Lewis is going to knock out Latifi in the first round. I think one of these guys is going down early and I give Lewis the edge because of his power. I think this will be an exciting slugfest that ends in explosive fashion.

The heavyweights, I expect big bombs flying around in this fight with both looking to finish each other. Lewis managed to get back to winning ways in his last outing compared to Latifi who is on a two-fight loss streak. Lewis by KO/TKO.

I gotta go with Derrick Lewis here. I think Lewis will catch Latifi clean coming in. Latifi gets caught coming in enough to where that is a solid prediction. Besides, Derrick Lewis can take big shots, we know that, and so can Latifi. Who can take the biggest shot and how many times is the real question. Latifi is on a losing streak and was TKO’d in his last fight so don’t put no money on him!
