Expert Betting Tips
This fight is set to keep fans on their toes. The lightweight division has presented one of the best bouts on this card. Drew has all the advantages in terms of physical attributes and experience but is already 10 years older than his opponents. Jean Silva is currently on a 10-game winning streak, which has been running since 2018. He has won these bouts via under 2 rounds due to his young age and quick jabs. In these bouts, he has the younger age advantage but no experience up to Drew Dober. I believe he will win these bouts in under 2.5 rounds.
