Indeed, this does look like a fight that is pretty close to call, but one that may favour the Brazilian.</p> <p>In his last three fights, he has managed to win before the contest was scheduled to finish. In fact, over his career, none of his fights have ever gone the distance, whereas Jourdain has had a couple which have. His defeats have come inside the scheduled rounds.</p> <p>With this in mind, we think Dias to win by TKO and the fight not to go the distance are two of the best value bets. If you want to consider ‘Round Betting’, the market for ‘Round 1 or 2’ provides additional value.</p>
