Ray Cooper III, previously fighting in the middleweight class, shifts into the welterweight division for this bout. His last fight ended in a loss against Jason Jackson by TKO earlier in February 2024. On the other hand, Mukhamed Berkhamov, comes off a unanimous decision win over Herman Terrado last October. Both fighters show robust records but contrasting outcomes in their recent matches.
Ray Cooper III enters as the underdog in this matchup, with moneyline odds of +390. This means a $100 bet on him would yield $390 in profit if he wins. Mukhamed Berkhamov is the favorite with a steep -395 line, suggesting he's heavily favored; betting $395 on him will just net $100 if victorious.
Decimal odds highlight their probabilities: Cooper sits at 4.9, indicating less chance of winning, whereas Berkhamov’s 1.3 mirrors stronger expectations for a victory. Neither fighter is favored explicitly for KO/TKO/DQ or decision victories, suggesting a potentially close fight without clear expectations on the method of win.
