Li vs Rodriguez Prediction
.
Winner:'Daniel Rodriguez (59%)
Method of Victory:'Decision (73%)
Despite struggling to string back-to-back wins together, Li Jingliang enters the weekend after knocking out Muslim Salikhov in his last fight in July. Meanwhile, Daniel Rodriguez has gone 12-1 in his last 13 fights while also winning each of the last three.
At this rate, it's tough to trust Li due to his inconsistencies. Rodriguez h as been building himself up and the fact that he throws out 8.06 significant strikes per minute shouldn't be ignored. Throw in the fact that "D-Rod" has both the height and reach advantage, and it isn't hard to like his odds of winning.
I'll take Rodriguez winning by decision at +170.
