Amil vs. Delgado Pick
Hyder Amil is a popular underdog selection this week, with public forecasts predicting he will win the fight more than 60% of the time, compared to the underdog odds.
Still, moving from the APEX cage to the full-sized 30-foot octagon poses a challenge for the aggressive, undefeated fighter, going against a taller and longer opponent in Jose Delgado (2" taller, 4" reach advantage).
While Amil tries to weaponize his pace and tenacity against opponents, he will have a more difficult time imposing his style in a full-sized octagon against a well-trained, well-rounded opponent.
Delgado is also eight years younger and should continue to improve from one fight to the next, while the 35-year-old Amil is more of a finished product at this stage of his career.
I projected Delgado as a -170 favorite, and I set the fight to go to decision at +123 (44.8% implied), which is more in line with the divisional average (48%) than the betting market for this fight.
Bet Delgado to -160 (small) pre-fight and play the distance prop to +135. And look to add more on the Delgado side live after Round 1.
