Expert Betting Tips
Both fighters truly have a chance in claiming the title belt and have had an equal number of rests since they both last fought a month and three weeks ago. Mike Plania comes into this match with an awesome wealth of experience that almost doubles his opponent's. That can be undermined. Also, he is a year younger with great knockout power. In recent times, he has suffered more losses, two in his last five fights. On the other hand, Omar has recorded more consecutive wins than him (a record of 13) and will be defending his own title. This means he has built over time the success-winning mentality that is capable of fighting on this cause. Omar seems to have an insane power, especially after securing back-to-back knockout victories thrice. I will still project him to win this bout and retain his title. In recent times too, Mike Plania seems to be vulnerable in the third round, something Omar might be looking to capitalize on.
