Masternak will aim to close the distance and make the fight physical, especially in the later rounds. His durability means he is unlikely to go away easily, and he could make things uncomfortable if Riley slows down.

Riley should have the edge with his speed, accuracy, and freshness. While Masternak’s experience will keep him competitive and push the fight into deeper rounds, Riley’s cleaner work and control of distance should be enough to secure a clear decision on the scorecards.
