Rob Font doesn’t take it personally when everyone who hears about his Saturday bout with Thomas Almeida thinks somebody is getting knocked out. That means a 50-50 chance that the New England power hitter could be the one on the wrong end of a highlight reel finish, but Font doesn’t mind those odds.
“We’re all fight fans first, so I understand that these type of matchups are the bangers,” he said. “We’re both coming off a loss and we’ve both got to go out there and put on a show. He puts on a show anyway and I feel like I naturally put on a show as well, so it’s a pick ‘em.
