Good match up here. I tend to think of Oba as the better fighter, but I think Arbachakov is bad for him. Sure, Oba has one of the greatest jabs ever, and a vast array of feints, slips and parries, as well as a pretty versatile offence, but he didn't have the best chin. Oba was quite capable of going on the back foot at times, and using that jab to keep someone turning in the centre of the ring but he couldn't do that for a full fight, because if he could, he would've done more. That means he's going to be pressuring Yuri, which is bad idea. Yuri had massive power when he landed clean, and I doubt Oba has the sort of tauromachist footwork needed to keep himself safe while coming forward. At some point, I feel like Yuri lands a clean counter and closes the show.
