Tim Elliott to Win (+186)

Odds available at Betfair at time of publishing

Tim Elliott and Edgar Chairez are set to battle in a closely matched fight. Elliott has the experience and skill to outlast Chairez, who is still relatively new to this level of competition. While both fighters have their strengths, Elliott's ability to adapt and use his wrestling could give him the upper hand. This matchup really feels like a toss-up, but Elliott's experience may tip the scales in his favor. The biggest risk is that Chairez could surprise him with his striking if Elliott isn't careful. Still, with the odds being so close, taking a chance on Elliott to win might be worth it. It was priced at +186 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $28.60 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.

  • Tim Elliott: last five L-W-W-L-W, lost the last fight, 0% of career wins came by knockout, 131 days since the last fight
  • Édgar Cháirez: last five W-W-W-L-W, on a 3-fight win streak, 0% of career wins came by knockout, 96 days since the last fight

That is how our model reads Tim Elliott v Édgar Cháirez. 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.
