Key Factors to Consider
- Abraham Bably is on a strong run with a 6-2 career record and recent win over Paul-Emmanuel Gnaze. Bably has a 50% KO rate among his wins, indicating effective striking. Joffie Houlton, while less detailed statistically, missed weight at 263.8 lbs, potentially hindering performance.
