Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili best bet: Taylor to win by decision (-250)
Taylor by decision is my best bet. Taylor has won her last nine fights by decision, including three bouts with Amanda Serrano and two against Chantelle Cameron. Pili also isn't an easy fighter to put away, and Taylor won't be chasing a knockout even if she is dominating the fight.
COVERS INTEL: Taylor's last nine victories have all come by decision, with her most recent stoppage coming against Rose Volante in March 2019.Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili favorite prop: Fight will go the distance (-300)
The fight to go the distance is my favorite prop. Taylor has only six stoppages in 25 victories, while Pili has just two in 12. Taylor should comfortably outclass Pili, but she won't need to overextend herself to pursue a finish. With neither fighter known for punching power or finishing ability, this fight is likely headed to the scorecards.

Odds as of September 4.
The market strongly favors Taylor to the point where a moneyline bet carries little value. Neither Taylor nor Pili has shown consistent finishing power, making Taylor by decision the more appealing way to back the favorite. With Taylor expected to control the fight and Pili having never been stopped, a comfortable decision victory is the most logical outcome.

Taylor has participated in 21 world-title fights and has repeatedly faced elite opposition, while Pili is making a massive step up in class. Pili's undefeated record deserves respect, but only two of her 12 victories have come inside the distance. Pili owns slight height and reach advantages, but Taylor's championship experience and proven ability against elite competition represent a much larger edge.
