Although Padley only has six knockouts in his career, five of them have come in the last three years. Five of Padley’s previous seven victories have been by KO/TKO/DQ. If Padley continues to come out aggressive with a high volume of punches, he should be able to finish this fight. You can get Padley to win by knockout at +175.
