    Mikey Garcia vs. Dejan Zlaticanin on January 28

    Didn't see a thread for this fight so decided to post it. I'm thinking Mikey Garcia at -220 but after watching some of Zlaticanin's last fights I am worried about his power. He is undefeated and has been fighting at lightweight for years.
    Most notable win for Zlaticanin is Ricky burns which was a decision. What do you guys think?

    Here are some points

    Mikey has won 2 belts 126 and 130lb divisionsThis will only be the second fight that Garcia Fights over 130
    Both fighters are undefeated
    Seems like Zlaticanin only gases out a little after the 9th round
    Zlaticanin seems like he has more power
    Garcia has 3 inch advantage

    I saw Zlaticanin's last fight live and was pretty impressed. He won by TKO early in the third.

    Even at -230 Garcia is a good bet.

    If you think Dejan will give him some trouble and make it competitive, consider betting on a Garcia decision win @ +285. Decent value.

    Sounds like a great bet just wish my bookie had prop bets.

    Did some more research and in my opinion Garcia takes this.

    I think Zlaticanin's best chance to win is to land a big punch. I don't see him outboxing Garcia over the 12 round distance.

    Garcia decision is +200. However, the over/under is 9.5 so maybe either guy stops the other... I wouldn't be surprised if Mikey stopped him on cuts.
