Quick Picks

Our pick: Medic to win

Value bet: Uros Medic KO/TKO & Round 1

Long shot: Fight to go the distance

Tale of the Tape

Medic and Rodriguez will clash in a fight that has five five-minute rounds, with both men adopting a southpaw stance.

Medic is definitely the faster, sharper southpaw and could look to keep the fight at long-to-mid range, where his speed and power will allow him to potentially beat Rodriguez to the punch.

Rodriguez’s best path, then, is to close the distance, make it a little messy, and use veteran pressure and clinch work to slow Medic down before the early danger window closes.

How do the two compare? Medic’s figures are first…

• Age - 33 vs 39
• Height - 6'1" (185cm) vs 6'1" (185cm)
• Stance - Southpaw vs Southpaw
• Record - 13-3-0 vs 20-5-0
• KO Record - 11 vs 9

Betting Markets to Watch

Medic is the huge moneyline favourite to win this fight in front of his home crowd, and we think it’s a likely outcome. However, the odds are rather short at present, which is why it’s potentially better to explore any value being offered elsewhere.

There isn’t much more value in the Uros Medic by KO/TKO bet in the method of victory market, highlighting the probability of this outcome being achieved. For that reason, we think the value in this fight is going to be in the ‘Method & Round Combo (5 Rounds)’ market.

The Uros Medic KO/TKO & Round 1 offers slightly better value. In fact, Medic’s last five fights have not gone beyond the first round, with him winning four of them.

Our Prediction

Our prediction is that Medic is the likely winner , with the Uros Medic KO/TKO & Round 1 bet offering value .

If you’re looking for a long shot, the fight to go the distance offers plenty of value. Rodriguez has had three of his last five fights go the full distance, but they were over three rounds and not five.

Remember, too, that he is much older than his opponent, while Medic is explosive in the first, making the fight going the distance unlikely but not impossible.
