Brandon Royval vs Joshua Van Prediction

This is a short-notice fight for Joshua Van, who has just fought at the first week of this month. Royval is much taller, longer, and more experienced. He was also already preparing for Manel Kape. Royval is the number one contender. Is Van even ranked? Either way, he’s too young, and this fight is way too short notice for him. Van is younger and hasn't had much time to recover and prepare for this fight. The worry in this match is that he is fighting the number 1 contender for his first ranked match. It all boils down to how badly Royval wants it compared to Van. I think Van will win mainly just off his pressure and punches thrown plus he has good takedown defense. He did horribly against Charles Johnson's height and reach.
