PREDICTIONS

CBS Sports – “Rolls is not a bad fighter. He is, however, the kind of fighter who fits a specific role. He’s good enough to beat club-level fighters and other middling talents to earn a crack or two at big featured fights where he then is outclassed by fighters a tier or two higher than him. That is likely what happens here, with Berlanga being younger, stronger and more dangerous, as long as he doesn’t leave the same wide openings in his defense that allowed Coceres to get in cleanly.”

Pick: Edgar Berlanga

Sports Betting Dime – “This prizefight is set for ten rounds and I do not foresee this one encroaching into the final bell. Ultimately, I think a prop bet on this fight not going the distance presents good value in the Berlanga vs Rolls odds.I also think prop bets on Berlanga winning via KO or TKO have strong value in my estimation.”

Pick: Edgar Berlanga

The Wright Wray Network – The mantle could be passed in this fight as Berlanga will show that he can handle the step up in competition with a win. Rolls will need to use his age advantage to his favor against an opponent who is 13 years younger.

Pick: Edgar Berlanga
