Fight Overview

A classic featherweight matchup pitting a young, undefeated prospect against a battle-tested veteran. Undefeated American Tyshawn Williams looks to punch his ticket to the Octagon, but he faces his most grueling test to date in Antônio "Junior Negão" Monteiro, a gritty 31-year-old Brazilian veteran with nearly 25 professional fights and a wealth of regional championship experience.

Keys to Victory

Tyshawn Williams

  1. Use youthful explosiveness and superior hand speed to dictate the pace and overwhelm Monteiro in the early goings
  2. Keep the fight on the feet and utilize sharp, technical boxing combinations to pick apart the veteran from the outside
  3. Maintain strict defensive discipline to avoid falling into tactical traps or submissions set by Monteiro's vast grappling experience

Antônio Monteiro

  1. Drag the fight into the later rounds to test the undefeated prospect's cardio, pacing, and overall resolve in deep waters
  2. Employ a heavy, smothering grappling and clinch strategy to slow down Williams' momentum and minimize his explosive striking
  3. Use veteran savvy and dirty boxing inside the clinch to frustrate the younger fighter and score points on the judges' scorecards
