Breaking Down the Tape
Watching tape on both of these guys is a very important part of the process of coming up with a betting pick. After watching both Dober and Glenn’s recent performances, Dober stands out.
Dober is the physically stronger and more explosive athlete in this matchup and has shown a ton of durability and fight IQ in his recent fights as well. The only question should be whether or not he can still handle these weight cuts at lightweight. Since he just got knocked out for the first time since 2011.
Glenn hasn’t been very active over the recent years, and he did not look very good in his recent bout. He lacks too much speed and punching ability to stay in the pocket as much as he does at this level.
Drew Dober vs. Ricky Glenn Betting Prediction
- If you haven’t noticed, the clear Dober vs Glenn prediction is Dober getting his hand raised on Saturday night.
The most likely outcome will be a TKO win for Dober, and that will give you the best payout.
The speed and power advantage is way too heavily in Dober’s favor to bet against him this weekend. Glenn hasn’t been active enough during the time when Dober has become one of the most dangerous matchups for anybody in the lightweight division.
