Rafa Garcia to Win (+170)

Odds available at William Hill at time of publishing

Rafa Garcia needs to show off his striking skills to win against Rongzhu tonight. He has a solid chance because he's been known for his ability to control the pace and land clean hits, which could definitely give him an advantage. One big risk is that Rongzhu can also strike well, which might make it tough for Rafa to find his rhythm. However, if Rafa can stick to his game plan, he has a good shot at coming out on top. It was priced at +170 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $27 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

The tale of the tape:

  • Rafa Garcia: last five W-W-W-L-W, on a 3-fight win streak, 4% of career wins came by knockout, 138 days since the last fight
  • Rongzhu: last five W-W-L-L-W, on a 2-fight win streak, 9% of career wins came by knockout, 383 days since the last fight

That is how our model reads Rafa Garcia v Rongzhu. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
