1.41Tip and bets
Cruz approaches the upcoming fight as an absolute favorite. According to bookmaker analysts, the Venezuelan will have virtually no chance of success. It is not even worth arguing with them. The American will have only his second fight in the new weight class. His debut in a heavier division was successful. But Isaac is a much more serious opponent and will definitely not give up his belt to the upstart from Seattle.
Our prediction is a knockout victory for Cruz 1.61 at BC Winline
