Okay boxing betting faithful, while there are no world championship title fights on the line this coming week and no odds available for the fights that are on tap, here’s a look at who’s in action and where.
Top Boxing Betting Picks of the Week – September 16th Edition
Sept. 20: Midland, Texas (Showtime)
Michael Dutchover vs. Thomas Mattice, 10 rounds, lightweights
21-year-old Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 KOs) returns for his second consecutive ShoBox bout after a big win in his debut in May. He’ll take on 29-year-old veteran Thomas Mattice (14-1-1, 10 KOs).
“Mattice is a talented fighter, he will bring out the best in me,” Dutchover sad recently. “Fighting at home means everything to me. I have fought mostly in California and on the East Coast. This homecoming is overdue. Like Friday Night Lights, I will be the next big thing from Midland, Texas. I will have my teachers, coaches and classmates there on fight night. I am ready for a big outing.”
“I am focused and confident,” said Mattice. “I haven’t watched much on my opponent. I let my team watch and develop the best possible game plan. I know he is a durable guy but I’m coming to win. This is my fifth ShoBox appearance and I feel that shows people recognize my talent and hard work.”
Pick: Michael Dutchover Via Unanimous Decision
Ruben Villa vs. Enrique Vivas, 10 rounds, featherweights
Two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and two-time Golden Gloves Champion Ruben Villa (16-0, 5 KOs) will go up against Garcia Promotions’ most coveted prospect, Mexico’s Enrique Vivas (17-0, 9 KOs) in a battle of undefeated featherweight prospects.
Prediction
I’m going with the talented 22-year-old Villa to dispatch the 25-year-old VIvas in this one via unanimous decision in a flat out thriller!
Pick: Ruben Villa VIa Unanimous Decision
