    I think it's possible Harada uses the same tactics he used vs Jofre, and uses distance to negate Zarate's power, then out-works him up close; but I'd take Zarate by KO. It's just too dangerous a proposition for a smaller man, whose chin cost him vs an inferior puncher in Medel, to walk down and swarm Carlos Zarate. Harada's jab likely means he's up on points, but Zarate would invest in the body and work the uppercut. Both would be telling shots before the finish, which I think would be around the eleventh.

    Agreed 100%. I'd back Zarate by stoppage as well. And even though Harada had a style that was Hell for Jofre, I'd take Jofre to stop Zarate.

    That's how styles work.

    A power punching wrecking ball like Zarate could potentially prove to be too much for even a great swarmer like Harada, who just doesn’t have the power to keep Zarate honest. I see this as Zarate slowly taking his time and working the body to the point of wearing down Harada and eventually stopping him.
