Earlier, he knocked out Rani Yahia and passed on points to Julio Arce — both fights, by the way, in the first round.
To date, Jackson has 17 wins, nine of them by knockouts. And only twice he left defeated. Montel is currently number 15 in the division and is on a five—game winning streak.

1.59Tip and bets
Bookmakers see Jackson as the favorite. And for good reason. Montel has precision, calculation, experience, and, most importantly— real confidence. His percussion technique is as technical as that of a true professional. Marcos loves America. In principle, it works—but not when you're facing a sniper with arms like Jackson's. You can't miss or open up here — you'll miss and you won't get up. Size also plays for the American, both in the clinch and in the distance. Yes, the Peruvian has excellent takedown defense, but we probably won't see a fight. But in the rack, to be honest, Marcos just has fewer tools.
Our prediction is that Jackson will win on points in 2.03
