Splits: 79% of handle, 51% of bets on Du Plessis
Du Plessis is very aggressive and will look to end things quickly. Till has been very easy to hit at times and after another long layoff it's hard to know what Till we'll get Saturday. If we get a Till that's in shape and prepared, he's got the skills to counter du Plessis and let the South African fighter gas himself out. If Till isn't ready, du Plessis will steamroll him and end this fight in the first round.
