Sims Jr. enters the fight with a better recent record, having won his last nine bouts. He will come in at the upper limit in terms of weight, which could pose a problem for the Mexican.

A KO victory could be possible if you’re looking for additional value when backing the Mexican due to his power and work rate.</p>
