Xiao will look to take control from the opening seconds and force his opponent into close exchanges at mid-range. Francesco will use constant movement, counter his opponent with combinations, and take the fight into the clinch to wear him down. The Italian's ability to maintain a high pace throughout the fight will allow him to keep everything under control and secure the victory.
