- When: Friday, June 7th, 2024. 8:00pm ET
Adrien Broner vs. Blair Cobbs
35-year-old Adrian Broner has a terrific 35-4-1 record with 24 stoppage wins. The veteran pugilist has won his last couple of bouts, besting then undefeated Jovanie Santiago and Bill Hutchinson via unanimous decision.
Favored Blair Cobbs is 16-1-1 with 10 stoppage wins. Cobbs is younger than Broner, but Blair’s loss came via knockout and Broner continues to display KO power. Backing the dog makes sense.
Boxing Betting Pick: Adrien Broner +115
Michael Hunter vs. Cassius Chaney // Interim WBA Heavyweight Title
Underdog Cassius Chaney is 23-1. Chaney’s lone defeat came via decision, which is a sign that Chaney has a decent chin. Cassius has ended the night early for 16 of his opponents. That tells us the dog also displays decent power.
Michael Hunter is 22-1-2. Hunter, like Chaney, has scored 16 stoppage victories. The difference between the two is that Hunter has much more experience against top competition. That gives the chalk a big edge.
Boxing Betting Pick: Michael Hunter -185
Zayas vs. Teixeira – The Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (ESPN)
Delante Johnson vs. Tarik Zaina
Zaina will put up an earnest effort. Tarik is 13-1-1 with 8 technical knockout or knockout victories. Zaina brings it every time he steps into the ring. Also, the lone loss was via decision. So Tarik can take a punch.
Johnson is one of those young and up-and-coming boxers that’s on this card to display his vast array of boxing skill. Delante is 12-0 with 6 stoppage victories. The 25-year-old has begun to fight better opponents. Zaina won’t make it easy on Johnson, but the chalk gets the win. Look to go over the total, since Zaina projects to last the full 8 rounds.
Boxing Betting Pick: Tarik Zaina +700
Bruce Carrington vs. Brayan De Gracia
Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington boasts an 11-0 record with 7 wins that ended before the final bell. So it makes sense that Carrington would be the huge versus Brayan De Gracia.
De Gracia is taking the fight on short notice. Enrique Vivas had to pull out due to an injury, which means De Gracia will step into the ring. The projected huge underdog is 29-3-1 with 25 stoppage victories. De Gracia has the experience to hang with Shu Shu but taking a fight on short notice against a boxer of Carrington’s abilities is a recipe for disaster. Look for a KO prop.
Boxing Betting Pick: Bruce Carrington
Xander Zayas vs. Patrick Teixeira
Patrick Teixeira has an excellent 34-4 record with 25 stoppage victories. Teixeira has won 3 straight.
But although Teixeira has the awesome record, he’s up against it versus Xander Zayas. The reason is that Teixeira has won most of his bouts in his native Brazil. Boxers in Brazil are decent, their history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu makes them tough for sure, but Zayas is an undefeated U.S. trained boxer.
The 21-year-old is 18-0 with 12 stoppage wins. He’s going to get his thirteenth stoppage victory on Saturday night. Zayas emerges as one of the best young talents in the super welterweight division with an impressive knockout victory.
Boxing Betting Pick: Xander Zayas -1800
