minakov is better everywhere and kongo's only chance is a ko, kongo is not a ko artist but minakov chin is a bit of a mystery
No doubt this is a fight that Kongo could lose and lose bad by KO and I can't argue that Kongo's chin is suspect at times but look at who he's fought...

I do hate betting against undefeated fighters but Minakov hasn't yet been truly battle tested in the cage I believe.. Perhaps Kongo is his toughest opponent to date..

I actually think Kongo has a good chance of KO'ing Minakov actually. Kongo mostly gets knocked out early on and in the 1st round, so if he can get past that early feeling out process then Kongo absolutely has a chance.. Remember Kongo went the distance with Cain Velasquez, he's dropped Pat Barry, beaten tough guys, went to a draw with Travis Browne...

Kongo has been in the cage with the best and better fighters then Minakov is.. With that being said he has a good chance to win this bout, especially if Manikov is out of shape and not trained up..

At +220 last time I checked I think it's worth a try... Kongo should be ready...

I have a small play on that. It's not that Parlo is a bad stylistic matchup for Cisneros, it's simply that he's way better than him. Cisneros is tough and powerful but he's overmatched here in terms of technique and high-level experience. His opponents (the ones he's beaten and those he lost to) just haven't been that good. I see this one ending within the first two rounds.

I had to take Kongo at a 3 to 1 underdog almost. Not super confident but I still do think he has a decent chance of winning this bout.. Worth a try I think at those odds...

Kongo brings experience and maybe even a cardio advantage into the cage tonight as well. Kongo is still very dedicated to this sport and improving.... Based on what I saw at the weigh ins I can't say the same for the Russian..

Should be a good fight regardless of what happens.. I'm excited to check this!!!!
