3.10Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider Quarantillo a clear favorite of the upcoming fight. However, in their opinion, Swanson will also have a chance of success. In general, this is true. The bet is on the younger fighter. The age difference between the opponents is five years. Of course, Cub is more experienced, but Billy also knows the taste of big victories. In this situation, it is worth betting that the fight will go the full distance. The fighters do not have enough strength to fight in an aggressive manner.
Our prediction is that the fight will be complete in 2.04
