Navarrete vs. Wilson – Desert Diamond Arena, Glendale, Arizona (ESPN)

• When: Friday, February 2, 2023. 9:00pm ET.

Arnold Barboza Jr. vs. Jose Pedraza

There’s a reason the name fighter in this matchup is at +400. But before getting into that, it’s important to note that Jose Pedraza Jr. has an excellent 29-4-1 record.

But Pedraza Jr. heads into this off a unanimous decision loss to Jose Carlos Ramirez and then a split-decision draw to Richard Commey.

Barboza Jr. is 27-0. The chalk doesn’t often stop opponents before the end of fights, though. Still, at the odds, it’s tough to look past the skilled chalk. Laying the -625 makes sense.

Boxing Betting Pick: Arnold Barboza Jr. -625

Emanuel Navarrete vs. Liam Wilson // WBO World Super Featherweight Title

Liam Wilson has skills. The underdog in this is on a 2-fight winning streak. Wilson secured a revenge KO victory over Joe Noynay on March 3 last year and then won a unanimous decision win versus Matias Carlos Adrian Rueda.

But Wilson faces the toughest challenge of his career on Saturday. Emanuel Navarrete is one of the best boxers on the planet. Navarrete has a 36-1 record with 30 stoppage victories. He should knock out Wilson, no doubt, so look for a prop bet before backing Emanuel on the moneyline.

Boxing Betting Pick: Emanuel Navarrete -1667

Serrano vs. Cruz – Hulu Theater at MSG, New York, New York (DAZN)

• When: Saturday, February 3, 2022. 8:00pm ET.

Richardson Hitchins vs. John Bauza // IBF NABF, WBC USNBC Super Lightweight Title

At first glance, it doesn’t make sense why John Bauza is such a big time underdog. After all, Bauza is 17-0 with 7 knockout or technical knockout wins.

But after studying Hitchens record and fights, it’s apparent that Bauza should lose his first bout on Saturday. Richardson is 15-0 with 7 knockout or technical knockout wins.

In Hitchens’ last, he beat a fighter on the level of Yomar Alamo via eighth round referee technical decision, meaning the ref stopped the fight. Alamo entered the bout with a 20-1-1 record. Hitchens’ star figures to rise higher on Saturday. A knockout win could be in the cards.

So look for a KO prop before accepting the low straight-up odds.

Boxing Betting Pick: Richardson Hitchins -909
