Anshul Jubli

He states plainly that Salkilld is 'the better fighter'; the only hedge raised is about dropping the opening round, a round-level concern rather than a reversal of the winner.

Jubli is a good striker with good boxing combinations, jab work, volume, head movement and body work, and a good grappler when he gets on top with pretty good top pressure and a habit of reversing takedown attempts into top position. The analyst flags that Jubli 'broke' mentally in his last loss after looking good for two rounds, and raises -- without resolving -- the possibility he hasn't fully recovered from that.

Commits clearly on 'Jo B' as the winner, reasoned on a striking edge plus wrestling as the fight's X-factor. The only hedge present is about WHEN the finish comes (not round one, more likely a later-round decision) -- a method/round hedge, not an outcome hedge, so it does not discount the pick.

Anshul Jubli is undefeated (7-0, 5-0 in his last five) and is credited as the better overall striker in this matchup -- good boxing combinations, a well-worked jab, good volume, and head movement that keeps him off the center line, built on a boxing-hands/wrestling-grappling identity. He also works the body well with uppercuts and hooks. His takedown offense is only called 'all right,' but once on top his pressure is very good, his takedown defense is good, and he often reverses position. His wrestling, if it gets going, is framed as the deciding X-factor of the fight.

Calls the fight very close and says he has a strong lean toward Saragih, while admitting his own enthusiasm for Saragih's flash and flair may be part of what won him over.

A high-level boxer first and foremost, with clean, crisp combinations working the body and the head. His footwork and head movement set up his boxing and keep him difficult to tag cleanly, and he mixes in knees and calf kicks to keep opponents off balance. His one real weakness is stopping takedowns, though he pops right back up when taken down, blunting the damage. He gassed a little in a tough tournament semifinal.
