This 1.5-round total is an OVER-bet. Cortes-Acosta consistently extends heavy-hitter bouts, evidenced by four of his last five going to decision, even with significant cage time against power threats. While Volkov possesses brutal R1/R2 KO power, his fight IQ and striking acumen against durable big men often lead to protracted engagements past the 2.5-minute mark. Expect technical striking exchanges to chew up the fight clock beyond the threshold. This line is mispriced for an early finish. 90% YES — invalid if early head kick KO occurs.
