Ruiz vs. Roman – Pechanga Resort & Casino, Temecula, California
- When: Friday, June 2, 2023. 9:00pm ET.
Fernando Vargas Jr. vs. Ramses Agaton
8-0 Fernando Vargas is a massive favorite to keep his unblemished record intact. Vargas last fought on Feb. 11 this year, knocking out Geronimo Nahuel Sacco in the second round.
Overall, Vargas has won all 8 of his bouts via stoppage. The huge chalk should have no trouble taking it to opponent Ramses Agaton on Friday night. Agaton has 14 losses on his record. 8 of the losses have arrived before the final bell. Under is the play.
Boxing Betting Pick: Ramses Agaton Under 3.5 -145
Universum Boxing Night – Grugahalle, Essen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
- When: Saturday, June 3, 2023. 12:00pm ET.
Luka Plantic vs. Yusuf Kanguel // WBC International Silver Super Middleweight Title
Yusuf Kanguel is going to give it his all. But the 22-5-1 Kanguel appears destined for failure versus 5-0 Luka Plantic.
The favorite in this has won 4-of-5 bouts via stoppage. Plantic won a bout via referee technical decision, a bout via technical knockout, and a couple of bouts via straight up knockout. No doubt, Plantic wins this. So the question is do we look for a TKO/KO prop on the chalk before backing Plantic on the money line?
Of Kanguel’s 2 losses, 1 ended via referee technical decision and the other ended by straight up KO. So, yes, we should look for a prop on Plantic that has him ending this before the final round starts.
Boxing Betting Pick: Luka Plantic -1111
Shields vs. Cornejo – Little Cesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan (DAZN)
- When: Saturday, June 3, 2023. 8:00pm ET.
Joseph Hicks vs. Antonio Todd
Hicks is 6-0 with 5 victories via knockout or technical knockout. Hicks, for sure, should be the chalk in this. But the undefeated boxer is 29-years-old, which means he’s a late starter.
Antonio Todd is 14-7 with 8 knockout or technical knockout victories. Todd has lost 2 of his last 3. Both losses were against top opponents. Connor Coyle was 15-0 when Todd fell via split decision.
Anthony Sims Jr. was 22-1 when Todd lost via unanimous decision. Hicks, for sure, should be the chalk, but the fave offers underlay odds. Backing the dog makes sense.
Boxing Betting Pick: Antonio Todd +420
Ardreal Holmes Jr. vs. Wendy Toussaint
Underdog Wendy Toussaint has a decent 14-1 record. Toussaint has stopped 6 of his opponents before the final bell. The loss came via straight up knockout, but it was versus then 12-0 Charles Conwell and it happened in 2020.
Ardreal Holmes Jr. is 13-0 with 5 stoppage wins. Holmes Jr. has beaten Vernon Brown and Ismael Villarreal in his last couple of bouts. Toussaint may not be a step up from either of those two opponents. The favorite prevails.
Boxing Betting Pick: Ardreal Holmes Jr. -357
