The biggest factors heading into this clash could well be the schedules and fight camps for each. Sandhagen has been training for five rounds and had his opponent switched to Font. Font had been training to fight in another two weeks, for three rounds, and stepped in on short notice.
While Font typically has great cardio, the short notice switch could lead the 36-year-old to go for the early knockout as opposed to pacing for five rounds. After all, his last victory was a first round knockout against Yanez. Cory will most likely be ready to feed Rob a steady diet of elbows, knees and kicks over all five rounds.
In terms of bets, we say Cory Sandhagen by knockout at 2.62 is your best wager. The American will be employing a game plan of constant elbows and knees to the face of Font, a fighter who is known to cut easily and wear down across a fight.
Those wanting to back the underdog for a higher return should have a punt on Font getting a knockout at 8.00. The veteran holds more power in his hands and his strategic advantage could be held in touching Sandhagen early while he is still trying to make reads.
