One of the toughest opponents in Rogava’s professional boxing career. Krnijic is a big, physically strong southpaw with solid footwork. He can fight on the front foot and pressure his opponent thanks to his impressive physical attributes.

Rogava, on the other hand, appears to be the more technically sound boxer. He’s been in the sport longer, has an extensive amateur background, more pro bouts, and possesses a sharper, more accurate jab. This time, he'll need to outbox his opponent — unlike the first round of the Grand Prix, simply overpowering him won’t work.

Ahmet is 28, Rogava is 32. It’s the perfect time for Tsotne to break into the top level — these are peak years for a heavyweight, especially as the previous generation is slowly aging out.

In terms of pure boxing experience, the Ukrainian has the edge. However, both fighters are well-seasoned beyond boxing. Rogava has repeatedly fought in the premier K-1 promotion Glory — and not only there. Krnijic also competed in One Championship and Glory under kickboxing rules.

Both fighters average over 200 punches per fight — pretty equal activity levels. But in the previous round, Rogava was forced to work even harder — Stalchenko gave him a tough, high-paced contest.

In terms of accuracy during the Grand Prix, Krnijic has the advantage across all key metrics. But it’s worth noting that Tsotne has already been tested against a slippery, awkward opponent — Ahmet hasn’t faced that kind of challenge yet.

Both fighters have only competed in the Grand Prix this year. A fight every two months is a great rhythm — ideal both for younger athletes and for developing boxing-specific skills through consistent ring time.

These are two huge men who know how to hit. They’re not elite knockout artists, but both do everything they can to hurt their opponents.

This fight absolutely carries knockout potential, given the size and skill level of both fighters.

No complaints about either Tsotne or Krnijic in this department. But with two big men like this, expect both chins to face a serious test.

Neither fighter should expect any hometown judging support. The real question is how well they’ll perform at their peak under the demanding Saudi climate.

This is a high-level bout between fighters with kickboxing backgrounds. Two big guys who may be labeled "boxing prospects" but are, in truth, seasoned fighters. There’s no reason to think either man will fold under pressure — performing at this level is nothing new to them.

This one will come down to technical skill — who defends better, who makes the other tire out first. Precision and execution will be key. And of course, there’s always the threat of that one heavy shot.
