These may be the two most naturally talented fighters at 147 pounds, even though neither has proved that talent against an established welterweight.

“I think it’s a great fight. A 50-50 fight,” Hitchins told FightHype. “Two young, athletic fighters, Olympians, undefeated and former world champions. He’s a great fighter and I’m a great fighter. I think it’s a megafight. The winner of this fight should be on the pound-for-pound list.”

The pound-for-pound claim arrives too early, but Hitchins is correct about the competitiveness. He owns the cleaner jab, sharper defensive positioning, and greater experience controlling twelve-round fights. Keyshawn brings heavier combinations, vicious body punching and more willingness to force exchanges.
