Form & Styles
McKenna's height and reach advantage could prove pivotal if he chooses to work behind the jab and keep Oliha on the end of straight punches. Both men fight orthodox, so the jab battle will likely dictate range and tempo through the early rounds. Oliha's lack of listed dimensions suggests he may be the smaller man physically, which could force him to fight inside and take calculated risks to close the distance.
Prediction
The bookmakers have McKenna as a clear favourite, and the Irishman's physical advantages make that lean understandable. His reach and height offer built-in tools to control range and frustrate a shorter opponent over twelve rounds. That said, both men are undefeated for a reason, and styles only matter until someone lands clean — predicting any zero-loss clash with certainty is a mug's game.
