Summary
This fight card was deliberately set up to make as many 50/50 fights as possible. So, it is no surprise our experts are split on some of the key battles on Saturday night.
For the headline bout, our team have backed Bivol four to one to square the series at 1-1 to become the new undisputed lightweight world champion.
Interestingly, there is a split for Parker versus Bakole, despite the fact the latter has had only two days to prepare for the fight and most of that was taken up with flying to Riyadh. The feeling is, he could bang out Parker early, but if Paker avoids that fate, he should win in the latter stages.
