Gilbert Burns vs. Neil Magny Betting Prediction

While Neil Magny has a significant advantage over Burns in both height and reach, the No.5-ranked welterweight has shown that he is more than capable of making up for that. Although Burns has lost two of his past three fights, the losses came against two of the best welterweights in the sport in Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev. Look for Burns to get back in the win column in front of a home crowd after going nearly a year without a fight.
