Branco was always going to be the favourite if he could remain competitive in the fight, and I was really expecting it to be significantly wider on the cards than it ended up being. Guy definitely wasn't unbeatable, and a guy with a bit more pop could certainly wrestle that title away from him, but being Italian, it would certainly seem likely that he'll have as many easy defences at home as he can before being put in with a real threat.
