Wanderlei won't KO him and won't out-cardio or out-technique him. Even his his prime, Wanderlei had issues with technical strikers, he just never fought many of them. My only concern is bad judges since the crowd will cheer everything Wand does.
I would love Wand to get a win over Rich, especially by KO, but don't see it happening. I'll probably toss Franklin at around -200 in a small parlay to get odds of even money or better. Wish he was +115, like he opened, but I knew the line would flip. Sportsbook is always TERRIBLE at opening in lines, and this is another example of that.
