Hill vs Walker Betting Analysis
Hill Betting Analysis
Hill has incredible knockout power and is deadly with one punch. However, opponents often overlook his quickness for a Light Heavyweight fighter.
His only loss was to Craig, in which he dislocated his elbow in that armbar that put him out. He quickly bounced back with a TKO against Crute to remain a threat.
Hill has gone 2-1 and a no-contest in his last four fights. The fight against Craig he would love to get back, but injuries happen and you can never account for that.
His next battle against Crute was a sign that he is still a dominant force. In just a quick 48 seconds, he landed a deadly knockout to end the fight and showed everyone that he means business.
Walker Betting Analysis
Walker had been a serious threat through the Light Heavyweight division until his chin was exposed. Before, there were talks that he could take on Jon Jones.
Anderson got a hold of him early and never looked back. In his fight against Spann, he was at risk of losing that one but eventually managed to come through.
Walker has lost three out of his last four fights and needs to get back on track if he wants a title shot down the line. In his fight against Anderson was the worst battle he has encountered.
Since that fight, he looked a lot better and was able to slow the pace down. However, he has struggled in getting back to finding a way to win in this new method.
Updates
An original battle between Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev was set to take place. However, visa issues prevented the fighters from battling and the previous co-main is what you get to see today as the new main event.
This fight has a lot riding on it for both Light Heavyweight contenders. A victory here could lead to a title shot, especially if Hill is able to silence Walker in a grand fashion.
Hill vs Walker Betting Preview
Hill and Walker are no strangers to ending battles in a flurry of punches. In addition, they both agreed to bump the fight to a five round showdown after they were originally a three-round co-main event.
Even though the two are known for their quick finishes, Walker has been training a bit differently. In his battle against Santos, he was more reserved and not as aggressive in his approach.
Hill on the other hand will not back down and remain aggressive from the start. This could draw out Walker and the two of them could light up the striking war.
With that being said, Hill will most likely land some excellent jabs to wear down Walker and gain confidence. Hill’s power and speed will overpower Walker, as well as expose Walker’s chin.
