Depends on which version of Cherry shows up.

Gotta hand it to these guys for taking a risk. Second top fighter in a row for the new guy on the scene Douglas and Cherry could have avoided the very tough Douglas but didnt. Round of applause due here. Cherry didnt quite impress his last fight so if he regrouped and comes to fight, this should be a good one.

The highlight video PBC put out for him got me pumped up and im expecting the best cherry lol Omar douglas and his offensive style will probably make it easier for cherry to land!

I go with Cherry. More experience, physically very strong, fights with a very high pace.

Just saw the Fortuna Vs Douglas fight. Douglas has many holes in his game. Poor defense, reaches with his punches. Very basic offense. Jab, hook, jab straight. Fortuna did box differently than normal. He used his lateral movement to catch Douglas coming in.

Cherrys goes forward and bullies his opponents. Douglas is also a fighter who only knows how to go forward, but I dont think his defense is good enough to sustain a slugfest. Cherry will get the better of the exchanges and possibly stop Douglas.
But only if Douglas hasnt improved dramatically since his last defeat.

Cherry is a level above Douglas, he was competitive against pedraza, could even have won and his other losses against malignaggi and Bradley were 2 divisions higher.
