Editor's Prediction
The English athlete tends to play it safe, which is why most of his victories come by decision. As for Emmett, the American fighter, while possessing knockout power, often sees his bouts go the distance; only two of his last six fights have ended early. Between them, they have been involved in three five-round battles, all of which went to the judges' scorecards. Following this logic, it would be wise to bet on the total rounds going over.
