Prediction
There is next to no footage on Xiao to get a valid read on this fight. With Quinonez, I don’t think he’s anyone to glue your eyes on the screen to watch. With that said, he’s got that Mexican-style grit that’s means he’s always going to be in a fight. I have to side with him because there is nothing to see in regards to recent tape on Xiao. I’d stay away from betting this just because there is so much unknown with Xiao.
