There is one big part of this fight that Kattar has an advantage here, his stamina. Allen has never gone more than three rounds, and that is going to really hurt him here against Kattar. Kattar is going to drag this isn’t a grueling fight, and as the fight goes on, he is going to start to wear down Allen. It’s going to be a war, and Kattar will secure the victory.
