Frankie Stringer vs Christian Flores

Boxing Odds: Frankie Stringer -3333; Christian Flores +816
Light Heavyweight Bout
Stringer record: 5-0
Flores record: 14-27-2 | 12 KOs
Tarczynski Arena, Wroclaw, Poland – ESPN+

Christian Flores should be favored Frankie Stringer’s opponent on Saturday. However, there’s a chance that Stringer throws down against Engel Gomez.

No matter who Frankie faces, he should get the victory. The key is whether Stringer secures his first stoppage win. Frankie is 5-0 but has yet to secure a KO or TKO win. Stringer and his corner know that if Frankie wants to fight for a title, he has to start showing power.

At this point in his career, at least a TKO victory is a necessity. So look for a knockout prop before backing Stringer at the money line odds.

Aram Faniian vs Adam Azim

Boxing Odds: Aram Faniian +685; Adam Azim -2000
Light Heavyweight Bout
Faniian record: 8-0 | 5 KOs
Azim record: 23-1 | 6 KOs
AO Arena, Manchester, England

Based on records, Aram Faniian is going off at overlay odds. The Ukrainian boxer sports a 23-1 record. But Faniian has just 5 stoppage wins.

The lack of stoppage victories should work against the underdog in this. Adam Azim is 8-0 with 6 knockout victories. In his last, Azim beat then 12-0 Santos Reyes via unanimous decision.

The fight lasted 10 rounds. So we know that Azim can go the distance in this if he must. The best play, though, is under or on Azim to get the KO win. Adam goes back to his knockout winning ways.

Mark Heffron vs Jack Cullen

Boxing Odds: Mark Heffron -434; Jack Cullen +279
Light Heavyweight Bout
Heffron record: 29-2-1 | 23 KOs
Cullen record: 21-4-1 | 9 KOs
AO Arena, Manchester, England

Heffron versus Cullen should be a tough fight. Both men will go at it from the opening bell.

Mark Heffron, the big time chalk in this, has won 4 straight. Heffron has 23 stoppage wins from his 29 victories. For sure, Heffron will go right at Jack Cullen.

But although Heffron has power, his 2 losses came via TKO and a referee technical decision before the final bell. All 4 of Cullen’s losses came via stoppage, though, which is why the best play is on under the total rounds or on Mark to win via TKO or KO.

Silvia Bortot vs Mikaela Mayer

Boxing Odds: Silvia Bortot +721; Mikaela Mayer -2500
lightweight Bout
Bortot record: 18-1 | 5 KOs
Mayer record: 11-2 | 3 KOs
AO Arena, Manchester, England

Massive underdog Silvia Bortot has a nice 11-2-1 record, but Bortot has just 3 stoppage wins. She also heads into this off a split-decision loss to then 6-0 Flora Pili.

No doubt, this is a massive step up in class for Bortot. Mikaela Mayer is one of the best women boxers on the planet. Mayer is 18-1 and has stopped 5 of her opponents before the final bell. Mikaela can get a sixth stoppage victory. So look for a prop before backing her on the money line.

Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr | Rematch

Boxing Odds: Liam Smith -166; Chris Eubank Jr +119
Middleweight Bout
Smith record: 33-3-1 | 20 KOs
Eubank Jr record: 32-3 | 23 KOs
AO Arena, Manchester, England

In the first bout, Liam Smith dominated. The -166 favorite beat up Chris Eubank Jr., ending his opponent’s night in the fourth.

Eubank Jr was a bit too cocky in the first. Chris tried to keep Smith at the end of his jab. The problem is that Eubank Jr fires his jab from his hip. Smith timed the jab and then eventually got to the taller and lengthier fighter.

It’s difficult seeing Chris doing something different in the rematch. Smith has decent defense. Also, changing your style, deciding to go to a different defensive posture and throwing the jab from that defensive posture instead of your hip, is tough. Smith wins the rematch.
