Expert Betting Tips
Both fighters truly have a chance of claiming the title belt. They share a close number of fights, with Sosa suffering two losses as Omar holds a draw. Omar is younger and has had more fights in a year than Sosa in his two four. Both fighters have an equal amount of time to prepare for this bout. All this will tell in this bout in terms of body recovery and adaptation to the game. Due to this reason, I see this bout being decided by the judges. A majority decision win is very likely to come through in this bout. Omar seems to have insane power, especially after securing back-to-back knockout victories twice. I will still project him to win this bout.
