Expert Betting Tips
This battle will not be determined by an age factor, which is why the oldest fighter is likely not to win. Although Lewis has more experience than Paddy, Paddy is likely to win because his unbeaten record will be a source of motivation for him not to lose at this point in time. Moreover, it’s been a year and two months since Lewis had his last fight, and it was a loss against Ohara Davies. Someone like Lewis does not have chances against Paddy Donovan, who still fought in 2024, recording a knockout victory against Williams Herrera. Also, given the fact that Paddy is very good at punches, I think this bout should be a knockout victory for him.
