“It will depend a lot on Ruffy’s mentality, but I have a lot of confidence in how confident Ruffy can be for this fight. Knowing that it’s a fight that will change his whole life, that it will put him in contention for the belt, I see a knockout in the first round. I think Arman has never faced someone with Ruffy’s knockout power,” said Caio Borralho.
