Daniel Levi Expert Lean picked Jul 20, 2023 (2 days before fight)
Jonny Parsons

Daniel picks Jonny Parsons, citing his durability and pressure style, comparing him to Bryan Barberena. He notes that Danny Roberts has a suspect chin and has been stopped more as he ages. He is concerned about Parsons' two-year layoff due to concussion issues but thinks if Parsons can absorb Roberts' shots and land his own, he has an edge. He admits he doesn't have a strong read and hopes his co-host is right about Roberts, but goes with Parsons so one of them is correct.

Daniel says 'I'm gonna go with Parsons' but does not mention a bet. The line is a pick'em.
