Adrian Granados by KO, TKO, or disqualification is currently 14/1 with Betvictor and Granados to win by decision or technical decision is priced at 22/1 by Betfair. That being said, with all things being equal, Benn’s explosive power and lightning-quick footwork should be enough to get him through this contest with his arm raised at the end.
