Why the House picks Owen Cooper
For once I'm going with my betting brain and picking Owen Cooper to outpoint Constantin Ursu in their British and Commonwealth title fight. Even though I know Ursu is the betting favourite and a technically competent champion, Cooper’s previous wins over the likes of Eithan James(RTD-9) and Chris Congo(PTS) make me believe that he can pull off the upset. Even his loss to Ekow Essuman saw both men on the floor before it ended in Essuman’s favour in the tenth and final round. Ursu also holds a win over Eithan James(KO-7), as well as wins over the likes of Louis Booth(TKO-2) and Ryan Amos(UD), also backing Ursu’s case for the win. This is almost certainly going to come down to a firefight, and for me, Cooper has the better experience of that type of fight.
