This rarely ever works in a fighters favor. In recent memory I can't think of any fighter that switched camps right before a fight and won the fight.

Since it's Wittman, I could see it working out. Dude is really, really good. But I couldn't think of worse circumstances to change camps on the fly. Burns is a bad style match-up and probably really familiar with Usman's habits.

Yeah usually they lose da 1st fight and then after they get accustom to new gym and coach n start to win after.

Which is disastrous for someone trying to defend their belt.

All those factors combined I see Burns as the clear favorite. Whitman may be great but 3 weeks isn't enough for them to gel together.

Usman's advantage will be his cardio and maybe strength.

He left awhile ago, he's been with Whitman before Burns even got the fight, it's not a camp on the fly.
