Prediction: Mike Davis vs. Viacheslav Borshchev

Mike Davis has a 9-2 professional record with seven wins by knockout. He lost his debut to welterweight powerhouse Gilbert Burns in 2019. Since then, Davis won back-to-back fights with one knockout and one decision.

Mike Davis is a small favorite over Viacheslav Borshchev.

Davis is a well-rounded fighter and explosive athlete. He is an effective striker with good punching power, fast and fluid combinations, and athletic movement. Davis has a jiu-jitsu background but prefers his hands in the octagon. His striking is technically sound but he can be baited into a brawl. In his most recent fight, Davis showcased an evolution to his game that many knew he had in his arsenal, but few have consistently seen. Borshchev is talented, highly skilled, a kickboxer, who can end a fight in an instant.

Mike Davis is a fighter who often takes risks to win. He has the power to match Viacheslav Borshchev on the feet but not the technique, precision, or defensive movement. Davis needs to check his ego and wrestle his way to a win, but I like what I saw from Davis last time out.
