Ramirez vs. Espinoza – F. Dodge City Center, Pembroke Pines, FL (ESPN)
- When: Saturday, December 9th, 2023. 9:00pm ET
Rafael Espinoza vs. Robeisy Ramirez // WBO World Featherweight Title
Espinoza is no slouch. The +660 underdog has a fantastic 21-0 record. To make Espinoza even more difficult for Robeisy to conquer, the Mexico based boxer has 18 stoppage victories from those 21 wins.
Ramirez has incredible boxing skills, but Robeisy is at a huge disadvantage in terms of height difference. Espinoza is 6’ 1’ while Ramirez is 5’ 6”. Unlike many other tall fighters, Rafael uses his height and gets leverage on his power shots. The odds make the dog an overlay.
Boxing Betting Pick: Rafael Espinoza +660
Haney vs. Prograis – Chase Center, San Francisco, CA (PPV)
- When: Saturday, December 9th, 2023. 9:00pm ET
Liam Paro vs. Montana Love // WBO Global Super Lightweight Title
Love versus Paro should be a great fight. Montana Love is 18-1-1 with 9 technical knockout or knockout wins. Love’s loss happened in his last via disqualification versus Steve Spark. Before losing via DQ, Spark had put love on the canvas.
Liam Paro is 23-0 with 14 stoppage wins. Paro does a lot of things right. He has a decent jab, his feet are always set before he throws for power, and he goes for the knockout when it presents itself. Love will last in this, but at the end, Paro gets it done.
Boxing Betting Pick: Liam Paro -185
Regis Prograis vs. Devin Haney // WBC World Super Lightweight Title
Sure, the judges gave the bout to Devin Haney in his mega fight against Lomachenko. But did he really beat Vasily?
From where many boxing fans point of view, Loma controlled the entire fight and kept Haney on the backpedaling. The same could happen in this bout.
Prograis isn’t on Loma’s level, but neither is Haney. What Regis does have is excellent power and a terrific chin. Also, Prograis’ lone loss came versus Josh Taylor in a majority decision bout in Taylor’s backyard in the UK. Give Regis a big shot to beat the champ.
Boxing Betting Pick: Regis Prograis +275
Billam Smith vs. Masternak – Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth, Dorset, England (NBC Sports)
- When: Sunday, December 10th, 2023. 3:00pm ET
Lee Cutler vs. Kingsley Ebugnike // English Super Welterweight Title
Underdog Kingsley Egbunike is 8-2-1, which wouldn’t be a terrible thing if Kingsley wasn’t also 30. Ebugnike doesn’t have a lot of fights for being a 30-year-old.
Favorite Lee Cutler is 13-1. Cutler has stopped 7 of his opponents before the final round. Since his only loss versus Bradley Rea in 2021, Cutler has won six straight. Three wins have come via stoppage and the other three arrived via decision.
Egbunike will fight hard, but is overmatched. Back Cutler to get the win, most likely, before the final bell rings.
Boxing Betting Pick: Lee Cutler -435
Chris Billam-Smith vs. Mateusz Masternak // WBO World Cruiserweight Title
Mateusz Masternak is a big, strong dude, but he’s up against it versus the champ. Chris Billam-Smith has underrated boxing skills.
A single event in his victory over Lawrence Okolie describes how good Billam-Smith’s boxing skills are. Okolie threw a punch, Billam-Smith side-stepped and then landed a counter.
Masternak will be too slow to stay away from Billam-Smith’s counter punches. This fight should end early with the champ raising his arms in victory.
Boxing Betting Pick: Chris Billam-Smith -417
