Expert Betting Tips
This is going to be a 10-round battle, one which Derrick Osaze cannot boast of having to handle much of based on experience. He is in good form, both with and without his opponent. Denzel Bentley has had it all bumpy, but at a younger age has fought more career-wise and also in the last two years. He also has something to prove, most especially in becoming a middleweight division title contender. Bentley will be looking to close up this match in the fastest possible way, which will be via knockout. Apparently most of his victories have been through that means.
