Expert Betting Tips

Jack Cullen and Zak Chelli are set for an intense rematch. They are evenly matched, and it's been almost 4 years since their last fight. Although they're the same people, they've become different fighters. Cullen is bigger, but he's been stopped in all four of his losses. He won his titles by surprising Mark Heffron recently, so he's feeling confident. Chelli held him to a draw in their first match. This time, if Chelli can land some good hits, the fight might not go the full distance. Chelli doesn't use a jab much and struggles with avoiding punches when getting closer. Cullen, by watching their first fight, can catch Chelli as he comes in, making a big impact. It's going to be an exciting battle.
