Walker vs. Parkin Pick, Prediction
I projected Mick Parkin as a -110 favorite and showed a bigger edge before weigh-ins, moving from a +115 underdog to a -105 pick'em overnight.
Johnny Walker is the bigger man (2" taller, 3" reach advantage) but is moving up from Light Heavyweight to Heavyweight for this matchup.
Parkin weighed in 23 pounds heavier on Friday (265 to 242) and has shown superior output and efficiency at distance (5.4 vs. 3.5 strikes landed per minute; +0.7 to +0.5 differential per minute at distance), plus better offensive wrestling and control (79% to 30% control rate).
Walker is the more dynamic athlete, with more power and a better submission game, and he's likely faster too, but carrying more poundage at Heavyweight tends to slow former light heavyweights as fights extend, and that's a problem that will only be exacerbated while fighting at elevation.
Take Parkin pre-fight to -105, and look for a live entry on the Englishman after Round 1. I also show an edge on his odds to win by finish or inside the distance (projected +203 listed +225) against an opponent who has shown serve durability concerns.
Zerillo's Picks:
- Mick Parkin (+100, 0.25u; FanDuel)
- Mick Parkin Live after Round 1
