    Editor's Prediction

    Yes, Samsonov has potential, but he might lack the experience and resilience to withstand the challenge from the more seasoned and decorated Khanov. We believe it's too early to write off Marcel just yet; he still has what it takes to compete at an elite level.

    Our choice
    Marsel Khanov Win at odds of +225*
