Hitchens vs. Lemos – AO Arena, Manchester, Lancashire (DAZN)

• When: Saturday, April 13th, 2024. 2:00pm ET

Cameron Vuong vs. Jordan Flynn

For an undefeated 9-0-1 boxer, Jordan Flynn offers excellent odds. Flynn has exceptional boxing ability, which is one of the reasons Flynn is a slight overlay at +325. Ah, but here’s the thing. Even though Flynn has won 9 bouts and not lost a single bout, he only has 1 stoppage in those 9 wins.

4-0 Cameron Vuong has stopped 3 of his opponents before the final bell. Vuong has power in both hands and his boxing skills are comparable to Flynn’s. The chalk wins this. If you’re looking to juice the payout, see if you can bet Vuong to knock out Flynn, or go under the total rounds.

Boxing Betting Pick: Cameron Vuong -550

Michael Gomez Jr. vs. Kane Baker // English Super Featherweight Title

Underdog Kane Baker is a warrior. Baker has fought 31 times. He’s scored 19 wins, has lost 10 times, and drawn twice. Baker, like Flynn, doesn’t have much power. We know this because he’s won a single bout via knockout or technical knockout.

Michael Gomez Jr. is 20-1. Gomez Jr. doesn’t have much power, either. The favorite has won 5 bouts via stoppage. Baker has lost only 3 times via KO. So if you’re looking for a different play other than the moneyline, consider going over the total.

Boxing Betting Pick: Michael Gomez Jr. -500

Rhiannon Dixon vs. Karen Carabajal // WBO World Female Lightweight Title

The lone title fight of the week pits 9-0 Rhiannon Dixon versus Karen Carabajal. The underdog in this has a terrific 22-1 record. Carabajal’s lone defeat came against Katie Taylor, one of the top women’s boxers in any weight class in the world, in 2022.

Taylor didn’t knock out Carabajal, which tells us she has a chin. Dixon is 9-0, though, and has been fighting quality competition. In the life of a pugilist, 2 years is an eternity. Now 33, it’s going to be difficult for Carabajal to keep up with 28 year old Dixon. The chalk wins.

Boxing Betting Pick: Rhiannon Dixon -290

Jordan Gill vs. Zelfa Barrett

Barrett versus Gill is one of this weekend’s top bouts. There are reasons to consider backing the underdog. Gill sports a decent 28-2-1 record. In his last bout, he all but ended Michael Conlan’s boxing career with a stunning seventh round technical knockout of the former chosen one.

So Gill can fight. But on Saturday, he goes up against a serious talent in Zelfa Barrett. The favorite in this has bounced back from a 2022 loss to Shavkhat Rakhimov with wins over Jason Sanchez and Coston Ion. Barrett boasts a 30-2 record with 16 stoppage wins. Back the favorite to cash.

Boxing Betting Pick: Zelfa Barrett -210

Anderson vs. Merhy – American Bank Center, Corpus Christi, TX (ESPN+)

• When: Saturday, April 13th, 2024. 9:00pm ET

Efe Ajagba vs. Guido Vianello

Vianello versus Ajagba is going to be a war. The +400 underdog boasts a 12-1-1 record with 10 stoppage victories.

Not be outdone, Efe Ajagba has won 19 bouts with 1 loss. Ajagba’s lone loss came to top heavyweight Frank Sanchez in 2021. Sanchez is 24-0 with 17 knockout victories. Ajagba lasted until the scorecards.

Vianello won’t last until the judges have their say. Ajagba should expose Guido’s defensive flaws early. Go under the total or back Ajagba to win this via TKO/KO.

Boxing Betting Pick: Efe Ajagba -750
