Turmenov is more selective in his strikes, but when he gets a guy hurt, he knows it, and he swarms like a bee to honey till the guy is finished, turmenov is a natural born killa, and larkin will be completely outclassed on the feet in this fight. The line being set high as it was on this fight to start with, was set to get public noob money on larkin, who is more of a household name i'd say, but the big money is coming in on turmenov still, this isn't a close fight, and the oddsmaker's know it, and the bettors that know what they are doing, know it.
