⭐ Editorial Prediction
It's puzzling to us why Walker is considered such a significant underdog. Yes, he has lost his recent fights, but they were against formidable opponents. Skill-wise, Johnny matches up well against his Chinese counterpart, and in terms of experience and physical attributes, he even has the edge. Therefore, we believe it's worth backing the Brazilian for a win at such generous odds.
