Herbert will have the hometown crowd in his favor and would love to walk away with a win. Both fighters do a good job of throwing and taking smart strikes, however, look for Herbert to come out swinging. Ziam must stay composed as an aggressive Herbert is bad news for most. Lean toward Herbert and his big fight DNA to kick in. Take Herbert on the money line or by knockout (+450).
