IBF World Super Featherweight Title
Kinechi Ogawa vs. Joe Cordina
IBF World Super Featherweight Champion Kinechi Ogawa puts his belt on the line when he takes on favored Joe Cordina. Ogawa has a strong 26-1-1 record with 18 knockout wins. The Super Featherweight titlist is an extremely talented boxer and very hard puncher. Joe Cordina is no easy out. But it’s difficult to understand the odds difference. Backing the champ makes sense.
Boxing Betting Pick: Kinechi Ogawa +120
Andrew Maloneyvs. Alexander Espinoza
21-3-2 Alexander Espinoza is a good boxer. Only 1 of his losses came via knockout. So there’s a reason to believe Espinoza does very well on Saturday. But doing well doesn’t mean he wins this fight. Andrew Maloney has a 23-2 record with 15 knockout wins. Maloney lost to Joshua Franco twice in three straight versus Franco. Since then, he’s beaten up lesser competition Froilan Saludar and Gilberto Mendoza. Espinoza qualifies as lesser competition. Maloney takes the victory no problem.
Boxing Betting Pick: Andrew Maloney -1250
WBC & WBO Super Bantamweight Titles
Stephon Fulton vs. Daniel Roman
20-0 Stephen Fulton is turning into a top ten pound-for-pound boxer. Fulton won a majority decision over Brandon Figeuroa in his last. Daniel Roman is 29-3-1. Since losing a split-decision to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in 2020, Roman has won 2 straight via decision over Juan Carlos Payano and Ricardo Espinoza Franco. No doubt, the challenger will put up a good fight. But Fulton is 3-inches taller and has a 2 ½ inches reach advantage. The champ prevails.
Boxing Betting Pick: Stephon Fulton -556
Junior Fa vs. Lucas Browne
Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne is 30-3 with 26 knockout wins. But the underdog is 43-years-old and on Saturday he takes on a hungry opponent. The last time we saw Junior Fa he was losing a unanimous decision to Joseph Parker. This is a step down for Fa. So we should expect the chalk to win. Don’t be surprised if Browne falls before the sixth round.
Boxing Betting Pick: Junior Fa -1667
Unified Lightweight Championship
George Kambosos Jr. vs. Devin Haney
Haney versus Kambosos should be one of the most entertaining bouts of the year. Haney is 27-0 with 15 knockout wins. He’s a very good boxer. If Haney can keep Kambosos at the end of his jab, he should win this fight. The problem for Devin, though, is that Kambosos has quicker hands and a style that forces his opponents to fight him. Kambosos won’t walk around the ring, waiting for an opportunity.
Instead, the underdog in this will force Haney to go to him. When Haney does, Kambosos will counter. George is especially good at countering when or if Haney throws the right hand. Even a jab will result in a counter. In one of the year’s top boxing matches, George Kambosos gets the nod.
Boxing Betting Pick: George Kambosos Jr. +140
