Arnold Allen (-350) vs Gilbert Melendez (+265)
Arnold Allen (14-1) may be among the best boxers that you have not seen before and the odds suggest oddsmakers are taking him seriously against Gilbert Melendez (22-7). Allen tends to fly under the radar somewhat as he has only fought once a year because 2014, but when he does struggle, fans are in for a treat.
Allen is someone who lets his game do the talking and he doesn’t have a tendency to be a personality pre- or post-fight, that may hurt when it comes to advertising. He is making an attempt to be active as it is his next battle in 2019. He comes into this bout undefeated in the UFC with a 5-0 record with just two functionality of the nighttime awards to his credit.
Gilbert Melendez, 12 years old than the upstart Allen, has been through wars with just about everybody in the UFC. Melendez has no issue diminished, entering the fight on a series. It is never a fantastic sign when a fighter needs to step away from the sport to locate their love for it . After his final struggle, he did just that, but I have very real questions about the motivation of Melendez, that hasn’t won because 2013.
This will be the biggest battle of Allen’s career and if he’s got a nice showing, it ought to vault him into the top 15, finally. He is very well educated and has shown an ability to accommodate to the struggle in front of him.
Lately, he’s given away some of his strategy already, saying:”I’m prepared for anything, I have had all sorts of fights. I have been in dull fights where nobody gets hit and you end up winning without getting touched, and I’ve had fights where I’ve been in little brawls, kind of grinding fights, so I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. I am just planning to outpoint him, outskill him, and going to be a bit better than him at the evening .”
I agree, and Allen should point-fight his way to a decision victory, but he needs to not give in to Melendez, who will want a kill-or-be-killed firefight.
