Every time a new card goes on, a featured guest analyst steps forward to break down the matchups and share their picks for each fight on the undercard and main card.
On the upcoming Colton Boxell has taken on the role of guest predictor, offering his take and forecasts for all twelve fights on the Rumble in the Cage 62 lineup.
Since turning pro earlier this season, Boxell has been on the move, collecting three decisions to improve his professional tally to 1-2. His first professional victory arrived at BTC 7: Annihilation, where he finished Jeremiah Curtright via submission inside the opening round. Before going pro, Boxell carried a solid 5-2 mark in the amateur ranks.
Below are Boxell's forecasts for Rumble in the Cage 62:
Neil Berry (8-9) vs Anton Tokarchuk (4-2-1): PRO Light Heavyweight Title Bout** FIGHT PREVIEW
"Berry walks into this one sitting at 8-9, with every victory coming by way of stoppage. Tokarchuk comes in at 4-2-1, and all four of his victories have arrived through striking. I don't picture this one lasting until the final bell. I see Berry as the more complete competitor—a smooth, creative striker—whereas Tokarchuk looks a bit rigid on his feet. Should Berry stick to his strategy and keep his offense sharp, he'll walk away with the decision."
Prediction: Berry wins by knockout in the third round.
Tim Tamaki (18-28-1) vs Chris Day (5-6): PRO Featherweight Title Bout** FIGHT PREVIEW
Tamaki boasts an impressive resume with 46 career fights under her belt, riding a two-fight winning streak heading into this matchup. Day, meanwhile, has struggled recently, dropping three consecutive decisions. The bout pits Day, who trains out of Toshido MMA in Kelowna, against Tamaki, representing CMC in Lethbridge. With their recent form taken into account, Tamaki looks like the clear favorite to pick up the victory.
Prediction: Tamaki wins by submission in the third round.
**FIGHT CANCELLED DUE TO ODORSKI ILLNESS** Josh Kitchen (5-3) vs Joel Odorski (2-0, 1 NC): PRO Middleweight FIGHT PREVIEW
Kitchen brings the edge in experience, though he's stepping back into the cage after a five-year absence from competition. Odorski, on the other hand, stayed sharp with a recent outing at the April Rumble card. That ring rust could prove costly for Kitchen, and Odorski's wrestling prowess should help him dictate the pace of the fight.
Prediction: Odorski wins by unanimous decision.
Phil Towler (1-0) vs Steve Mac Donald (3-0): PRO Light Heavyweight
Towler, a striking specialist from Calgary, faces Mac Donald of Toshido MMA. It's been four years since Towler last competed, so ring rust is a real concern. Mac Donald, meanwhile, is coming off a victory earlier this March and has proven himself the more active competitor, securing both of his wins via decision. His methodical approach gives Mac Donald the advantage in this matchup.
Prediction: Mac Donald wins by unanimous decision.
Evan Piercey (2-2) vs Robert Noble (1-0): AMATEUR Lightweight
Piercey holds a substantial experience edge as he makes his fifth amateur appearance, fighting out of CMC in Lethbridge. Noble, representing New Path MMA in Athabasca, is making only his second amateur start after scoring a knockout in his debut. Piercey's known for his fiery style—he's survived only one round outside of the opening frame, boasting two lightning-fast stoppages on his record. This one promises to deliver some serious excitement!
Prediction: Piercey wins by knockout in the first round.
Frank Allen (0-0) vs Elliot Prestwich (0-1): AMATEUR Heavyweight
Here's our second Boise native on the card—part of the long-standing tradition where each lineup features two competitors from the States representing the same team. Historically, one of them walks away victorious while the other falls short. Following that pattern and my own gut instincts, I'm leaning toward Prestwich taking home the win. Experience will likely tip the scales, and Prestwich should be absolutely desperate to claim his first professional victory.
Prediction: Prestwich wins by unanimous decision.
Justin Grey (1-6) vs Owen Swiftwolf (1-0): AMATEUR Bantamweight
"Don't let Grey's record fool you. A fight is a fight and his seven amateur fights should not be discredited. Grey has a significant amount of more ring time than Swiftwolf, who is making his second appearance after winning his first in only 30 seconds. It's a battle of the determined veteran versus the untested newcomer, and I have to believe in the power of experience."
Prediction: Grey wins by unanimous decision.
Cam Gedak (0-0) vs Jon Norman (0-0): AMATEUR 160 pounds
"Gedak represents Estevan, SK and Norman is fighting for Scheer's MMA. I know tough fighters come from Estevan, but Scheer's is the much more storied and established gym. For that reason, I believe Norman will leave with the W."
Prediction: Norman wins by submission in the first round.
Shannon Clark (0-0) vs Jennifer McEwen (0-0): AMATEUR Women's Featherweight
"A classic battle; Lethbridge and Kelowna have a long-standing rivalry. I believe Lethbridge has come out on top more often than not, but the feud should make this one exciting nonetheless. I believe in the power of the Lethbridge hometown crowd, and for that reason I give this bout to Clark making her amateur debut."
Prediction: Clark wins by unanimous decision.
Preston Pongracz (0-0) vs Peti Siulua (1-0): AMATEUR Welterweight
"Pongracz is making his amateur debut, while Siulua has one win by way of doctor stoppage. Pongracz is representing the Wimp 2 Warrior program, taking average people and turning them into fighters. I'm not sure if Siulua is representing one gym in the Boise area or if he trains at multiple, but we know for sure Pongracz is representing the hometown CMC. Lee Mein never fails to give his fighters stiff competition, so we'll have to see if his fighter withers or wilts under the bright lights and the hometown Lethbridge crowd."
Prediction: Pongracz wins by knockout in the third round.
Trevor Beall (0-0) vs Taylor McDougall (0-0): AMATEUR Lightweight
"There's not much footage to be found from either fighter, but they are both coming from reputable gyms with solid credentials. Beall is fighting out of CMC in Lethbridge, while McDougall is representing Scheer's MMA in Saskatoon. I have to give the hometown advantage to Beall, and here's hoping for a competitive fight."
Prediction: Beal wins by unanimous decision.
John Moore (2-2) vs Adam Zekry (0-0): AMATEUR Middleweight
"Moore comes into this fight with experience, while Zekry is making his amateur debut. I think Moore is the more active fighter and comes from the larger, more reputable camp, so I'd say odds on him."
Prediction: Moore wins by knockout in the second round.
