Top Boxing Betting Picks of the Week (September 18th, 2023)
Fierro vs. Zamarripa – Auditorio Municipal Fausto Gutiérrez Moreno, Tijuana, Baja California (DAZN)
- When: Friday, September 15th, 2023. 9:00pm ET
Sabrina Maribel Perez vs. Skye Nicholson // Interim WBC World Female Featherweight Title
Argentinian boxer Sabrina Maribel Perez is 18-1-1. The huge underdog in this has won 2 of her bouts via technical knockout. In 2018, Perez suffered a first round technical loss to Marianela Ramirez. Perez bounced back from the loss by winning 2 straight.
Nobody can question Sabrina’s heart. However on Friday night, Perez faces a strong opponent. Favored Skye Nicholson has won all 7 of her bouts. Nicholson doesn't have a stoppage victory to her credit, but her boxing skills have dominated. Skye wins this via decision.
Boxing Betting Pick: Skye Nicholson -1429
Angel Fierro vs. Brayan Zamarripa // WBO NABO Lightweight Title
Fierro versus Zamarripa is the main event on DAZN’s Friday night card. Zamarripa doesn't have much shot of beating Fierro, which is why we’re turning to an over under play. The underdog in this is 13-1 with 4 stoppage victories. Brayan hasn’t shown a lot of power in his previous bouts, preferring to win via decision. Zamarripa’s lone loss didn't happen via stoppage, either. Angel Fierro is 21-2-1. Fierro has won 17 of his fights via stoppage. This bout is scheduled for 10. So the key is to determine whether Fierro can get Zamarripa out of the ring before the final 1.8 rounds. Angel has won his last 2 via sixth-round TKO and seventh round KO, which means taking a shot on under makes sense.
Boxing Betting Pick: Brayan Zamarripa Under 8.5 +134
Lopez vs. Gonzalez – American Bank Center, Corpus Christi, TX (ESPN+)
- When: Friday, September 15th, 2023. 8:00pm ET
Luis Alberto Lopez vs. Joet Gonzalez // IBF World Featherweight Title
Boxing fans know both these boxers well. Joet Gonzalez may offer overlay odds to beat Luis Albert Lopez or at least it looks like that on paper. But after watching Joet’s last couple of bouts, we realize Gonzalez hasn’t been sharp enough.
The +460 underdog lost via decision to Isaac Dogboe in 2022. Then this year, Gonzalez required all 10 rounds to win a decision win against Enrique Vivas.
Luis Alberto Lopez is 28-2 with 16 stoppage victories. Lopez is on an 11-match winning streak and beat Michael Conlan via sixth round TKO in his last. Lopez's power, and strange style, will get to Gonzalez before the final round.
Boxing Betting Pick: Luis Alberto Lopez -714
Zepeda vs. Gesta – Commerce Casino, Commerce, California (DAZN)
- When: Saturday, September 16th, 2023. 9:00pm ET
Maria Mancheo Santizo vs. Yokasta Valle // IBF, WBO World Female Light Flyweight Title
Maria Mancheo Santizo has a decent 11-3 record with 6 stoppage victories. The problem with backing Santizo is that she has lost 3-of-5. Only one of Santizo’s 3 losses came via knockout, though.
Yokasta Valle has 9 victories from 28 bouts. She’s easily one of the top women boxers on the planet. So for sure she wins. The key is whether Santizo will last past the 8.5 total rounds. The answer is no. Go under to cash.
Boxing Betting Pick: Yokasta Valle Under 8.5 +250
William Zepeda vs. Mercito Gesta
Zepeda is 28-0 with 24 stoppage wins. For sure, Zepeda wins this. But can the chalk end Mercito Gesta’s night early?
Gesta has suffered a single knockout loss in 3 defeats. Ah, but Zepeda is, by far, the best opponent Mercito has ever faced. William sends Gesta back the locker room before halfway through the sixth.
Boxing Betting Pick: Mercito Gesta Under 6.5 -123
