Expert Betting Tips
Berinchyk is a heavy favorite to win this fight, as he has more power, speed, and skill than Yigit. He is also more active and consistent than Yigit, who has been inactive for almost a year and has lost three of his last five fights by stoppage. Berinchyk is likely to pressure Yigit from the start and break him down with his relentless attacks. Yigit might try to use his jab and movement to keep Berinchyk off balance, but he will struggle to cope with Berinchyk’s intensity and accuracy.
