Daniel Lapin vs Aro Schwartz

Boxing Odds: Daniel Lapin Over 8.5 -500 vs Aro Schwartz Under 8.5 +350
Light Heavyweight Bout
Lapin record: 7-0-0
Schwartz record: 20-6-1
Tarczynski Arena, Wroclaw, Poland – ESPN+

Underdog Aro Schwartz is 20-6-1. Schwartz has scored 13 victories before the final bell. But although Aro has fought great during his career, he’s up against an undefeated beast in Daniel Lapin in this Usyk-Dubois undercard bout.

Lapin is 7-0, which is why the money line favors Lapin. However, Daniel only has a single stoppage victory. So although Lapin will win, the bout should go the 10-round distance.

Denys Berinchyk vs Anthony Yigit

Boxing Odds: Denys Berinchyk -2500 vs Anthony Yigit +1000
Lightweight Bout
Berinchyk record: 17-0-0
Yigit record: 27-3-1
Tarczynski Arena, Wroclaw, Poland – ESPN+

Based on his record, Anthony Yigit should contend agianst Denys Berinchyk. The massive money line underdog has an excellent 27-3-1 record. Yigit has 10 knockout victories to his credit.

Berinchyk is 17-0 with 9 stoppage wins. So based on records, Yigit has a chance. Ah, but although Yigit is a good boxer, the dog in this has suffered all three losses by either knockout or technical knockout.

The chalk should win this via stoppage. So if you see over under odds, go under. Or if you see a KO prop, consider.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois

Boxing Odds: Oleksandr Usyk Over 8.5 -109 vs Daniel Dubois Under 8.5 -118
WBO, IBF, WBA Heavyweight Titles
Usyk record: 20-0-0 | 13 KOs
Dubois record: 19-1 | 18 KOs
Tarczynski Arena, Wroclaw, Poland – ESPN+

Daniel Dubois is a good heavyweight. The challenger has lost a single bout during his career. The loss came against heavy hitting Joe Joyce in 2020.

Since then Dubois has won four straight. But although Daniel is fighting great, beating opponents like Trevor Bryan and Kevin Lerena is much different than competing against the champ.

Oleksandr Usyk is one of he most skilled boxing heavyweights on the planet. Usyk also has a great chin. So Dubois’ power won’t be as effective. Usyk should win this before the ninth. However, Oleksandr doesn’t push for the KO unless he’s comfortable. Over is the play.

Zhan Kossobutskiy vs Efe Ajagba

Boxing Odds: Zhan Kossobutskiy -176 vs Efe Ajagba +135
Heavyweight Titles
Kossobutskiy record: 19-0-0 | 18 KOs
Ajagba record: 16-1 | 13 KOs
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Tulsa, Oklahoma – ESPN+

Kossobutskiy versus Ajagba could be the night’s most competitive boxing match. Ajagba heads into this with a 17-1 record.

The chalk has a 19-0 record. Not only is Kossobutskiy undefeated at 19-0 but he also has 18 stoppage wins to his credit.

No doubt, Kossobutskiy can win this. However, we must question the quality of opponent since all of Zhan’s fights have happened in Germany. Ajagba is the pick.

Jared Anderson vs Andriy Rudenko

Boxing Odds: Zhan Kossobutskiy -176 vs Efe Ajagba +135
Heavyweight Titles
Anderson record: 15-0-0 | 14 KOs
Rudenko record: 35-6 | 21 KOs
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Tulsa, Oklahoma – ESPN+

Jared “Big Baby” Anderson continues to fight lesser opponents. That’s probably going to be the case until Anderson’s record reaches 20-0 and he gets a call from Tyson Fury or Usyk to fight for a championship belt.

Rudenko doesn’t have much shot of winning this. But Anderson could struggle to knock out Rudenko, who has suffered 1-of-5 losses via stoppage, before the fifth. Andriy hangs on until at least the sixth.
