Daniel Dubois vs Jarrell Miller

Saturday, December 23rd, 2023
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | Pay-Per-View

Dubois has an excellent 19-2 record with 18 stoppage victories. The favorite in this is a good heavyweight with power punching prowess and the ability to box his way out of trouble. However, if Dubois does get into trouble, things can go south in a hurry.

Both of Dubois’ 2 losses came via knockout. That’s bad news for the chalk and his fans because on Saturday, Dubois faces a hard puncher in Jarrell Miller. The underdog in this boasts a 26-0-1 record with 22 knockouts or technical knockouts. Miller will test Dubois’ chin. The guess here is the favorite fails the test.

Dmitry Bivol vs Lyndon Arthur

WBA Light Heavyweight Title
Boxing Odds: Dmitry Bivol Over 9.5 -190; Lyndon Arthur Under 9.5 +140
Saturday, December 23rd, 2023
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | Pay-Per-View

Lyndon Arthur is a decent boxer, but he’s got no shot of upsetting Dmitry Bivol. The light heavyweight champ can beat you with his power or he can beat with his jab and footwork. Right now, Bivol is one of the best boxers in the world.

So we can’t expect Arthur to beat the champ. But Arthur should be able to elongate this fight. Bivol has won eight straight via unanimous decision. The champ’s last knockout win came over Sullivan Barrera in 2018. Arthur’s loss came via knockout, though, which makes under a real possibility.

Boxing Pick: Under 9.5

Saturday, December 23rd, 2023
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | Pay-Per-View

After two straight losses against Tyson Fury, The Bronze Bomber bounced back in his last, knocking out Robert Helenius in the first round of a schedule twelve, which is why Wilder is such a big time favorite over the accomplish Joseph Parker.

Parker is 3-3 and is own a 3-match winning streak. However, as well as Parker has boxed, he’s up against one of the top power punchers in the division. Of Wilder’s 43 wins, 42 have come before the final bell. The chalk ends Parker’s night early.

Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin

Boxing Odds: Anthony Joshua -550; Otto Wallin +325
Saturday, December 23rd, 2023
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia | Pay-Per-View

Anthony Joshua has learned how to box and how to keep himself out of bad situations. Joshua came off of two straight losses against champ Oleksandr Usyk to beat Robert Helenius via seventh round TKO in August.

Joshua’s chin has improved big time, which is bad news for Otto Wallin. The underdog in this is a good boxer, but Wallin has never faced an opponent with Joshua’s skills except for Tyson Fury, who beat Wallin via decision. Joshua gets the win.

Undisputed Super Bantamweight Title
Boxing Odds: Marlon Tapales +750; Naoya Inoue -2000
Monday, December 25th, 2023
Tokyo, Japan – ESPN+

Marlon Tapales is one of the toughest bantamweights on the planet. In his last bout, Tapales entered the ring an underdog versus Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Tapales beat Akhmadaliev via split-decision.

As good as Akhmadaliev is, though, Tapales takes a massive step in class on December 25. Nayoa Inoue is the best boxer in the world. Inoue is 25-0 with 22 stoppage victories. He’s one of the few boxers in any division who can knock his opponent out with one body shot. Inoue ends the fight before the final bell.

Boxing Odds: Chris Colbert +100; Jose Valenzuela -130
Saturday, December 16th, 2023

The odds in this one don’t make sense. Jose Valenzuela, the -130 chalk, is on a 2-match losing streak. Not only has Valenzuela lost his last couple of bouts, but 1 of the 2 loses came against Chris Colbert.

The +100 underdog beat Valenzuela via 10-round unanimous decision. Colbert had lost to then 14-0 Hector Luis Garcia via unanimous decision in the bout preceding the Valenzuela fight. If Colbert could be Valenzuela in the first bout, why couldn’t he do it in the second? Back the underdog at the +100 payout.

Boxing Odds: David Morrell Jr. -2000; Sena Agbeko +750
WBA Super Middleweight Title
Saturday, December 16th, 2023

Ghana has produced some terrific boxers, which is why it’s no surprise that underdog Sena Agbeko has won 28, 22 of the wins have come via stoppage, and has lost just 2 bouts.

Still, although Agbeko has a terrific record, he’s up against it versus David Morrell Jr. The Cuban superstar has just 9 professional bouts. Morrell did fight 54 times in the amateur ranks, though.

Also, Morell has 8 knockout victories to his credit. Agbeko’s experience will keep in this fight for a while, but, eventually, Morrell ends his night.

Peter McGrail vs Ja’Rico O’Quinn

Boxing Odds: Peter McGrail -600; Ja’Rico O’Quinn +350
Saturday, December 16th, 2023

McGrail is 8-0 with 5 knockout victories, which means the favorite in this has much less experience than 16-1-1 Ja’Rico O’Quinn.

But although McGrail has less experience than the +350 underdog, McGrail passes the eye test. His footwork is fantastic. McGrail’s footwork means he’s always in a position to counter and is able to win the angle on every exchange.

O’Quinn is a good boxer, but he’s up against a master. McGrail wins via stoppage.

Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs Kevin Gonzalez

Boxing Odds: Murodjon Akhmadaliev -600; Kevin Gonzalez +350
Saturday, December 16th, 2023

After building an undefeated 26-0-1 record, Kevin Gonzalez takes a major step up in class. Murodjon Akhmadaliev lost his last bout, but the loss came against Marlon Tapales.

Tapales fights the great Nayo Inoue on Christmas Day, which explains why even though he isn’t the undefeated boxer, Akhmadaliev is the major chalk.

Still, Gonzalez didn’t build his career by fighting chumps. The underdog has a great skill, the ability to change his style depending on how a fight is going. Give the dog a chance to bite.

Saturday, December 16th, 2023

Sunny Edwards boasts a 20-0 record, but projects to struggle in this bout. First, the underdog takes a major step up in class. Second, Edwards has just 4 stoppage wins on the record.

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez is one of the top power punchers in the division. Rodriguez is also great at cutting off the ring and counterpunching. Bam will win every exchange on Saturday night.

Not only that, but Edwards will struggle to set his feet and get even a simple jab off because Bam will also win every angle. For sure, Edwards has enough heart. He just doesn’t have enough skill to beat the champ.

Rafael Espinoza vs Robeisy Ramirez

WBO Featherweight Title
Boxing Odds: Rafael Espinoza +700; Robeisy Ramirez -1800

6’ 1” Rafael Espinoza has terrific boxing skills and can knockout his opponents. Espinoza is 21-0 with 18 KO wins. Rafael has a massive height advantage over the 5’ 6” Robeisy Ramirez.

The reason Ramirez is the close to -2000 chalk is because he is one of the better boxers in the sports. Ramirez has won 13 with 8 stoppages. But Espinoza knows how to use his lengthy jab. It’s going to be tough for Robeisy to get inside of Rafael’s long arms. The dog is worth backing.

Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney

WBC Junior Welterweight Title
Boxing Odds: Regis Prograis +275; Devin Haney -425

Devin Haney got the win against Vasily Lomachenko, but there is much controversy surrounding the decision. After multiple viewings, it sure appeared as if Loma had Devin backpedaling and trying not to lose the fight instead of trying to win the fight.

With that being written, Haney could be in for a shock against Prograis. Regis’s only loss came in a bout against Josh Taylor in Taylor’s home nation. Also, Prograis lost to Taylor via majority decision, which means at least one of the judges sided with Regis.

14 of Prograis’ 29 wins have come via stoppage. At the odds, Regis is an overlay.

Lee Cutler vs Kingsley Ebugnike

Boxing Odds: Lee Cutler -450; Kingsley Ebugnike +280

Kingsley Egbunike’s resume makes Lee Cutler an overlay at -450 to get the win. Egbunike is 30 years old and has fought just 10 times. Of his 10 bouts, Obi has 8 wins, 2 losses, and a draw.

1 of the losses was via knockout. Cutler is 13-1 with 7 knockout wins. Since the lone loss, Lee has won 6 straight. There’s a good chance Cutler ends this before the final bell.

Chris Billam-Smith vs Mateusz Masternak

WBO Cruiserweight Title
Boxing Odds: Chris Billam-Smith -450; Mateusz Masternak +280

Challenger Mateusz Masternak is big and has power. But he’s much too slow and doesn’t have the boxing skills to beat Chris Billam-Smith.

Billam-Smith is 18-1 with 12 stoppage wins. The real reason to like Billam-Smith is because he not only has power, but he moves much better than Masternak. So Chirs should set up the underdog for a devastating combination that ends the fight early.

Favorite Caoimhin Agyarko is 13-0 with 7 technical knockout or knockout victories. He’s been fighting great so far during his career. But on Saturday, he takes on the best opponent he’s ever faced.

Troy Williamson not only has more experience, but Williamson has suffered a loss and bounced back with a win, which means Troy has faced adversity. Williamson is 20-1-1 and has scored 14 stoppage wins. The -134 underdog is dangerous.

Tyrone McKenna vs Lewis Crocker

Boxing Odds: Tyrone McKenna +260 vs Lewis Crocker -400

The +260 underdog in this has a great record. Tyrone McKenna is 23-3-1. The dog has suffered a single loss before the final bell, which means McKenna also has a decent chin.

But Tyrone has won just 6 bouts via KO or TKO. McKenna doesn’t have enough power to beat a fighter like Lewis Crocker.

The -400 favorite is 17-0 with 10 stoppage wins. Crocker has the type of power that McKenna will want to stay away from, which means Lewis will press the pace, stalk Crocker, and either pile up points or eventually get to Tyrone before the end of the fight.

Michael Conlan vs Jordan Gill

Boxing Odds: Michael Conlan -950 vs Jordan Gill +500

Jordan Gill is a tough fighter, but Michael Conlan is one of the better boxers in the division. Conlan has had trouble against pugilists like Luis Alberto Lopez. Right now, nobody in the super featherweight division can hang with Alberto Lopez.

So Conlan’s 2 defeats to Lopez doesn’t scream that there’s a problem. MC should send Gill to the showers before the final bell. So consider going under the total or backing Conlan on a KO prop before accepting the -950.

Shane Mosley Jr. vs Joshua Conley

Boxing Odds: Shane Mosley Jr. -550 vs Joshua Conley +325

Joshua Conley has a real shot of beating Shane Mosley Jr. However, Mosley Jr.’s boxing skills should keep Conley’s power at bay.

Also, both require a victory in this. Mosley Jr. can’t take the chance of losing to fighter like Conley. If Joshua loses, his career is over.

The issue is that even though Conley is motivated, he just isn’t fighting well enough, Conley heads to the ring after 2 straight losses, to get it done. Back the chalk to cash.

Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte

Boxing Odds: Ryan Garcia -475 vs Oscar Duarte +290

Oscar Duarte has an excellent 26-1-1 record. Not only does Duarte have a terrific record, but the loss came via decision, and he has knocked out 21 of his opponents.

Garcia suffered his first loss, yes. Ryan has a lot of talent, yes. But Garcia lacks sound fundamentals and don’t think for a moment that Duarte, who has fantastic fundamentals, doesn’t know that.

Oscar can knock out Garcia in this. For sure, consider backing Durate to win the fight. King Ry got exposed big time. Duarte will take advantage of Ryan’s bad feet placement and the way he opens himself up to counter shots.
