Foster vs. Nova – The Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (ESPN+)

• When: Friday, February 16th, 2024. 9:00pm ET

Guido Vianello vs. Moses Johnson

The underdog in this has a decent 11-1-2 record. Since a technical knockout loss to Walter Burnsin June 2023, Johnson has bounced back with wins against Lemir Isom Riley and Emilio Salas.

Guido Vianello has a great 11-1-1 record. The favorite has won 4-of-5 with the loss happening against Jonathan Rice in January 2023. Vianello has won 9-of-11 via TKO or KO. Look for a stoppage prop before backing Guido on the moneyline.

Boxing Betting Pick: Guido Vianello -650

Bryan Chevalier vs. Andres Cortes

Chevalier versus Cortes should be a great matchup. +350 underdog Bryan Chevalier boasts a 20-1-1 record. Chevalier has great power, stopping 16 of his opponents before the final bell.

Andres Cortes is 20-0. The favorite has won 11 of his bouts via TKO or KO. Cortes should be the chalk, but the odds difference should be much closer than +350 versus -600. Taking a shot on Chevalier to get the win makes sense.

Boxing Betting Pick: Bryan Chevalier +350

O’Shaquie Foster vs. Abraham Nova // WBC World Super Featherweight Title

Nova is one of those boxers with a sterling record but hasn’t fought many top competitors. The last top-notch fighter Nova threw down against, Robeisy Ramirez, easily handled Abraham via fifth-round knockout.

O’Shaquie Foster is 21-2 with 12 stoppage wins. Foster’s last loss came in 2016. The champ’s boxing ability will be the difference in this. Foster can end Nova’s night early, like he ended Eduardo Hernandez’s night before the final bell in his last.

Boxing Betting Pick: O’Shaquie Foster -850

Curiel vs. Nontshinga 2 – Auditorium Guelaguetza, Oaxaca, Mexico (DAZN)

• When: Friday, February 16th, 2024. 9:00pm ET

Mauricio Lara vs. Daniel Lugo

Veteran Mauricio Lara is a huge favorite over Daniel Lugo. Lara blasted Leigh Wood in 2023, but then lost to Wood later on in the year in the rematch.

Lara boasts significant power. 19 of Lara’s 26 victims have headed to the showers before the judges got a chance to show their scorecards. Lugo, though, is a good fighter. Lugo is 27-2 and is on a nice winning streak. Taking a chance on the underdog makes sense.

Boxing Betting Pick: Daniel Lugo +475

Adrian Curiel vs. Sivenathi Nontshinga // IBF World Light Flyweight Title

Veteran Mauricio Lara is a huge favorite over Daniel Lugo. Lara blasted Leigh Wood in 2023, but then lost to Wood later on in the year in the rematch.

Lara boasts significant power. 19 of Lara’s 26 victims have headed to the showers before the judges got a chance to show their scorecards. Lugo, though, is a good fighter. Lugo is 27-2 and is on a nice winning streak. Taking a chance on the underdog makes sense.

Boxing Betting Pick: Adrian Curiel -160
