Zhanibek Alimkhanuly vs. Esquiva Falcao (interim WBO world middleweight title)

It seems highly-likely that Zhanibek Alimkhanuly will be facing Esquiva Falcao for the interim WBO world middleweight title (soon to be vacated by Demetrius Andrade).
Therefore, who wins the fight between Zhanibek Alimkhanuly and Esquiva Falcao?
This bout marks the beginning of a changing of the guard for the middleweight division, due to Charlo and Andrade moving to 168lbs, coupled with the imminent retirement of veterans such as Murata and GGG.
Thoughts?

I doubt we will see another GGG for a long time and that is a shame. As for Charlo and Andrade - shame they never bothered to prove themselves before stepping up.
Hopefully the next era will actually fight each other- I would prefer that over what we have had for the last 3 years, which is a lot of talk and no action.

A really solid match-up between former Olympians and unbeaten talents. At least to have a replacement with Andrade going up...

Solid title fight. The winner would be a legit champion. Charlo and Andrade want that Canelo payday.
