Concentrate on keeping a tight defence and keeping the head off the line
Why the House picks Dainier Pero
There’s only one winner here, barring accidents. Pero is an Olympic quarter-finalist and otherwise highly decorated amateur. At 12-0 with 9 KO’s, the Cuban is yet to face any ranked opponents, but in Haynesworth, he takes on a man with 6 KO losses in 9 defeats, so if the fight goes to script, Haynesworth won't be hearing the final bell.
