Swanson vs Martinez Prediction
.
Winner:'Jonathan Martinez (56%)
Method of Victory:'Decision (73%)
After a long losing streak, Cub Swanson has turned things around by winning three of his last four fights. Victory on Saturday won't be easy, though, as Jonathan Martinez enters this bout with a three-fight winning streak.
Despite what the odds say, this is a pretty even fight that could go either way. Both men are the same height and have the same reach, while also possessing similar striking stats. Having said that, Swanson will be one of Martinez's toughest opponents yet due to the former bringing a slew of experience with him.
As good as Martinez is, I think Swanson's experience will be the difference-maker here. Give me a Swanson upset at +168 odds on the moneyline.
