Talbott is younger than his opponent and has advantages in size, speed, and physical conditioning. Figueiredo will try to compensate for the difference in physical dimensions with sharp explosive attacks and attempts to take the fight to the ground. At the same time, Payton's solid defense and high striking volume should allow the American to maintain a comfortable distance and control the course of the bout. Most likely, Talbott will secure the victory by judges' decision.
