Expert Betting Tips
This bout is between a legend of the division and a young rising star. Davids is known as a powerful puncher with lightning-fast hands, capable of knocking out opponents with a single blow. He is a master at using his feet to create angles and openings for his punches. He has great side-to-side movement, which lets him circle around his opponent and attack from places they don't expect. The worry in this bout is he is on the edge of retirement, and his last bout loss needs redemption. Adam is a much younger version with massive strength. The 22-year-old has always been decisive in his shots and is also in his prime time. Given how Davies lost his last bout, I see no difference in this bout. Hate to say, but he won't get his needed redemption in this bout. This fight will surpass the initial two rounds and conclude with a knockout.
