How is Johnny 1.5? And KO for him is 3? Is Ledet really that good or Johnny overrated?
I think the odds are skewed due to Walker having a quick finish against Rountree and Ledet getting mauled by Raktic, but think this fight is definitely a better match up for Ledet than the Raktic one.
In that (I am going off memory however), Raktic took Ledet down a lot and didn't really give Ledet a sniff. Ledet is at his best when the fight is on the feet and he can get his boxing going, he's got a really nice jab and can control fights with it.
Walker from the little I've seen of him seems like a super aggressive and extremely wild striker with decent power. I'm expecting an initial onslaught where he'll try and get another early finish and just pressure Ledet, try to get him up near the cage and into a telephone booth style range where he'll throw some wild hooks, elbows and flying knees.
If Ledet can survive that first 2 minutes, I think his chances should improve considerably. Vast majority of Walkers wins are quick finishes but he's a big muscular guy, I don't think it's a pace he can keep up for 15 minutes - I'd struggle to think of any LHW who can. If the pace and pressure ends up slowing from Walker after that onslaught, I think Ledet could then start to get his hands going, keep a bit of distance with his jab and start to take control of a slower paced fight by landing cleaner punches.
One thing I'd say for Ledet is well, that last fight showed he can take some punishment and won't necessarily look for a way out if he is hurt. He couldn't really offer anything off his back in that fight against Raktic, but I think a lot of people would have just accepted that they weren't winning that fight and just stopped to force the ref to step in and save them; he didn't there and in a few fights before that he took some decent shots without too much issue so that kind of gives a bit of hope that he could potentially survive that initial onslaught and find his way back into the fight.
I dunno if livebetting is available for this one, but if you want to bet Ledet and it is, I'd wait until a couple of minutes in because he'll very likely be at much better odds and if he gets finished, it'll likely be during those first few minutes.
