Fans and experts alike fancy this to be a fast-paced, action-packed kickboxing match with two high level strikers. The win by submission odds for either fighter are extremely high, implying oddsmakers do not anticipate much ground fighting.
Max Holloway is unique in his ability to weaponize cardio. He throws an overwhelming array of punches and kicks that are rarely full power, allowing him to throw the same volume late in the fight when most fighters slow down. The Korean Zombie however, lives to create as much violence as possible and is willing to blitz his opponents in an effort to let his power keep the fighter on their back foot.
The best bets we see ahead of this fight is betting on Max Holloway to win by decision, at 2.75. Holloway’s ability to relentlessly batter his opponents drains both the energy and desire of his opposition, allowing him to add up large gaps in striking to win rounds. For those looking to make some higher return punts, Holloway to win in round five provides huge profit at 10.00, while Chan Sung Jung’s best path is a knockout at 15.00.
