Ian Parker's betting tip
While Allen looked like an unstoppable force in his last fight, winning via TKO over Dan Hooker, he won his four previous fights by decision. Kattar, win or lose, has also gone to decision in his last four fights. That is something interesting to look at when betting on this fight. Both men are extremely durable and have been finished only once in their careers. If you felt you had to bet a side here, I would lean Kattar. However, I believe the strongest play would be to bet the over, with the line set at 3.5 rounds.
