Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili Fight Prediction
It is difficult to look beyond Katie Taylor to win, particularly given the gulf in experience and the level at which the Irishwoman has operated throughout her career.
Pili's unbeaten record deserves respect and she has never experienced defeat as a professional, but Taylor has repeatedly shown that she can perform under the brightest lights.
The most intriguing betting angle could therefore be Katie Taylor to win on points, particularly given her exceptional technical ability and the fact she has gone the distance in each of her last 13 victories.
Whatever happens, Saturday night at Croke Park will mark the end of one of the most influential careers in boxing history.
