THE MMA GURU sided with Karol Rosa as an underdog against Nora Canunn, forecasting a 29-28 split-decision type outcome. Rosa has gone competitive with established names such as Norma Dumont and Irene Aldana and owns a win over perennial contender Yana Kunitskaya. By contrast, Canunn’s best victory is over Hailey Cowan, and she recently dropped a close one to Jacqueline Cavalcanti—hardly elite bantamweight benchmarks. Rosa’s experience in three-round wars, plus her well-rounded skill set, should allow her to steal the marginal rounds with clinch control and higher volume boxing. Canunn hasn’t shown the clear athletic separation that Natalia Silva displayed on her own rise, so the Guru expects the step up to be a bit too soon. Bettors looking for plus money on a veteran decision prop should consider Rosa.
