GITTINS vs GIORDANO
TACTICAL WAR ROOM
THE NARRATIVE: Liam Gittins looks to defend his Cage Warriors Bantamweight Title in enemy territory. Rome, Italy hosts Alessandro Giordano, the home favorite. Gittins has championship experience (13-4), while Giordano (9-3) is stepping up to the big stage.
THE X-FACTOR: The Italian Crowd & Championship Rounds. Can Giordano feed off the Rome energy? And can he last 5 rounds against a proven champion like Gittins who thrives in deep waters?
AGENT PREDICTION: Gittins is too seasoned. He's faced tougher competition. Giordano will start fast, but Gittins will weather the storm, take over in the 3rd round, and secure a submission or TKO to retain his belt.
