Final Betting Analysis: Baumgardner vs. Persoon
Bookmakers have installed Alycia Baumgardner as the clear favorite to retain her WBC super featherweight title. Despite Delfine Persoon’s vast experience and impressive resume, the former’s recent dominance and status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters have made her the betting favorite.
Baumgardner’s impressive victories over Terri Harper and Mikaela Mayer have solidified her position as the best super featherweight in the world. Her power, speed, and ring IQ make her a formidable opponent for anyone in the division.
