Ernesto Mercado v Jose Pedraza Tips

Fight To Go Over 4.5 Rounds @ 5/6
Fight To Go Over 4.5 Rounds & Ernesto Mercado By KO/TKO @ 8/5

Ernesto Mercado faces Jose Pedraza over ten rounds in Las Vegas on Saturday night, as the undefeated super-lightweight prospect looks to send out a warning to his contemporaries at 140lbs.

Unbeaten with a record of 16-0, (15 KOs), Mercado is one of the sport’s most exciting prospects.

Pedraza is an experienced, former world champion who has only been stopped twice in six losses, against Gervonta Davis and Keyshawn Davis, and will be coming to try and take the young star into deep waters.

I do feel that the odds are a little disrespectful to Pedraza, who has been one of the sturdiest gate-keepers at the top level in recent years.

While I expect Mercado to win, I feel Pedraza will make him work for it and we should see the second half of the fight.

Mercado is an explosive puncher who has only been past three rounds once before but if Pedraza can be crafty and awkward, this could go a few rounds.
