Related Topics: Neil Magny, Las Vegas

A true tale of the tape in a welterweight match main event between American Neil Magny & out of Brazil, Carlos Prates.

Both fighters seem to have a similar build, but Magny has a slight edge in the areas that matter, specifically reach. Magny seems to have the advantage in almost every area. He is two inches taller and has a bit of an advantage in his reach width at eighty inches. In Prates’ defense, his fighting style is that of a striker. That could play up to his advantage.

Prates does have an age advantage of thirty-one and a better winning percentage, winning all his fights this year by knockout or technical knockout.
