Jackson Jon England vs Sultan Zaurbek

💣 The Kazakh fighter enters the bout with a 20–0 record and is known for confidently dictating the pace of his fights. However, England has never been stopped inside the distance— all three of his defeats have come by decision. For his part, Zaurbek has also coasted to decisions in his recent longer contests.

That’s why I’m leaning towards a scenario where Zaurbek gradually takes control and wins on points, rather than breaking down the Australian early. England’s experience and home advantage should help him weather the initial storm and take the fight into the later rounds. Still, we don’t see him having a real shot at victory. That makes the bookmakers’ pre-fight odds all the more surprising— and worth taking advantage of. Our pick: Zaurbek to win.
