Expert Betting Tips
This bout is a tough one to call. Both fighters are fighting on neutral soil. Although Korkmaz is coming off a victory in his last match, his recent form is also as shaky as his opponent. He does not stand a chance, both age-wise and height-wise. Sardari comes into this match as the one with more experience and a higher number of wins. I believe he has what it takes to get the job done. Now this won't be easy. I believe this bout will extend to the very end and will be decided by the judges.
