Claudio Marrero Betting Odds

Galahad vs. Marrero Betting Prediction
Although he’s a bit methodical and has also been missing in action as of late, Galahad does possess a solid chin and outstanding boxing skills.
Galahad can get annoyed when he has to go the distance, and that’s why most of his early stoppages have come in the first half of bouts.
Marrero is experienced and also very powerful, but unless he’s ready for a flawless fight, Galahad is likely to come up with the victory.
