Editor's Prediction
Despite Fleury moving to a heavier weight class for this bout, it shouldn't pose a serious problem for him. The Irishman has excellent anthropometry and has changed categories before. In terms of fighting skills, Fleury also appears more intriguing, as he is a versatile fighter, whereas Todev is a basic striker. Based on this logic, we recommend betting on the victory of the Irish athlete.
