Thiago Santos Wins By TKO (-110)
Santos is a top tier technical striker in both the organization and especially his division. In a fight that should most likely be contested on the feet for the majority of the bout I like his chances to eventually score the knockout win over Johnny Walker. Walker is a wild fighter but packs power behind his punches. He definitely leaves openings for his opponents to capitalize and I think he will eventually make a critical mistake or two and get caught by a counter from Santos. Santos has been in wars and his share of striking battles before but since his move up to light heavyweight we have seen an improvement in his durability by saving himself an extra fifteen pounds from a weight cut.
Though Santos is on a three-fight losing skid I believe he will bounce back in the win column this weekend by dispatching of Johnny Walker via (T)KO.
Thanks for reading and best of luck!
