Bookmakers' analysts consider Brady to be the clear favorite of the upcoming fight. At the same time, in their opinion, Burns will also have a chance to succeed. But he is unlikely to take advantage of his chances. It is clear that the Latin American is not in the best physical shape, has already mentally hung up his gloves and is experiencing obvious psychological discomfort after two defeats. Sean will have to achieve victory over a broken opponent.
