This is an excellent fight between Marc Leach who has come out of nowhere in recent years to score good wins over Qais Ashfaq and Scott Allan. Thomas Essomba has a record of 10-6-1 but is much better than his record suggests. Essomba was actually a two time Olympian and as a pro has scored good victories at domestic level over fighters such as Sean McGoldrick.
I think this fight will be very competitive with Thomas Essomba coming forward using his efficient hooks and inside work while Marc Leach mixes it up from range and also in close. I don’t think this is a bad style match up for Essomba who mostly struggles with technical movers which isn’t Leach’s forte. I think Thomas Essomba will take a decision win after twelve rounds due to his experience versus good competition and having a good style for this match up.
