In terms of physical attributes, Harvey stands at 5 feet 5 inches (166 cm), making him roughly an inch shorter than Cervantes, who measures 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm). Unfortunately, official reach measurements for both fighters remain unavailable. Still, neither appears to hold a dramatic size advantage that might decisively sway the contest.
During last year’s weigh-in for his bout against Marcelo Del Aguila, Harvey came in at 129.6 pounds. Just as with his reach, the weigh-in information from Cervantes’ last bout is not well documented.
Fight prediction
Fans and pundits appear to have already formed their opinions. Most observers, if not nearly all, predict that Jahmal Harvey will continue his winning momentum and hand Cervantes the first loss of his career. The sentiment is somewhat surprising. The Colombian boasts a strong knockout-filled resume, and he is still in his athletic prime.
A closer look suggests the tilt in Harvey’s favor likely stemmed from his Olympic pedigree. His standout performance in the Del Aguila fight and the promotional weight carried by MVP appear to be other factors. With a strong backing from Jake Paul’s team, Harvey enters the fight with momentum. As MVP co-founder and Paul’s close associate, Nakisa Bidarian put it, “We believe Jahmal Harvey can become one of the biggest faces in boxing both in and out of the ring.”
Fans can likely expect a fast-paced contest showcasing contrasting styles. A versatile switch-hitter known for fluid counters versus a traditional South American pressure fighter who began his boxing journey at the age of eleven. Whether this contrast favors the more polished Harvey or fuels an upset from Cervantes remains to be seen.
