Prediction: Manuel Torres via TKO
Torres fights with a kill-shot mentality—every strike he throws is with fight-ending intent. However, unlike a reckless brawler, he’s methodical in his approach, setting up his power shots with accuracy and timing. He doesn’t just blitz forward and hope to land; he waits for the right moment, using feints, pressure, and counters to set up clean, devastating connections. When he senses his opponent is hurt, that’s when he truly lets loose, pouring on the offense with calculated aggression.
Dober, on the other hand, is as durable and battle-tested as they come. He’s known for his granite chin and willingness to stand in the pocket and trade, often relying on his power to overwhelm opponents. But the problem for him in this matchup is his defensive flaws—his head movement is minimal, and he’s always there to be hit. Against a sniper like Torres, that’s a dangerous flaw.
The biggest concern for Torres is if the fight extends into the later rounds. He fights to finish, meaning his energy output is high, and while he will still be dangerous past the halfway mark, his pace will naturally slow. If this happens, he will start to leave openings for Dober’s power shots. Dober has the kind of power that can turn the tide of a fight in an instant, and if Torres doesn’t exit exchanges cleanly, he could get caught with a big shot.
However, the most likely outcome is Torres landing first. Dober’s tendency to absorb damage and rely on his chin will not hold up against someone as precise and powerful as Torres. Expect Torres to find his openings early, land a clean shot, and swarm Dober for a TKO finish before the fight reaches the later stages
