Bookmakers' analysts consider Moreno a clear favorite of the upcoming fight. In their opinion, Albazi will not have many chances of success. The fighter, who competes under the flag of Iraq, has lived in the United States for a long time and knows his opponents very well. If he manages to transfer the fight to the ground, he can very well count on victory. In this situation, it is worth choosing a bet that the fight will not go the full distance.
