Value can be found in the ‘Alternative Group Round Betting 2’ betting market, as this seems to be the challenge. The ‘Nick Ball To Win the Fight in Round 9 - 10’ looks good value, given his last two victories.</p> <p>However, Goodman is undefeated and has shown he can go the distance. While he isn’t expected to win, there is value in backing the ‘Yes’ for this market. It’d be silly to rule him out completely, given that he is durable, technically adept, and balances offence with defence.</p>
