1.81Tip and bets
Salikhov is already 40 years old, and it is obvious that his best years in the sport are behind him. The Russian has been performing in China for a long time and has won over the local audience. His opponent does not pose a serious threat. Keenan has neither a powerful knockout punch nor a strong fight. The Chinese fighter’s only chance is a lucky accidental blow, but even that is extremely unlikely. It is worth choosing to bet on a confident victory for Salikhov on points. Our prediction is Salikhov victory by decision of the judges 2.70
