Boxing Events: Saturday, March 18
Jono Carroll vs. Miguel Marriaga
Boxing Odds: Jono Carroll -833 vs. Miguel Marriaga +434
Record: JJono Carroll 23-2-1 / Miguel Marriaga 30-6-0
When: Saturday, March 18, 2023 at4:30 pm ET
Where: Agenda Arena, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
30-6 with 24 knockout or technical knockout wins, at first glance it looks as if Miguel Marriaga has a better shot in this than the odds indicate. But a closer look reveals that Marriaga is in some trouble.
The underdog in this contest shows a single victory and 3 losses in their last 4. Marriaga has dropped his last 2, versus Eduardo Ramirez and Michael Conlan, via unanimous decision.
Jono Carroll is 23-2-1. Carroll’s last loss happened in a bout against Maxi Hughes in 2020. Hughes should make it 6 straight on Saturday. Jono could win this via KO. So consider backing Carroll via a knockout prop.

Jarrell Miller vs. Lucas Browne
Boxing Odds: Jarrell Miller -714 vs. Lucas Browne +401
Record: Jarrell Miller 25-0-1 / Lucas Browne 31-3-1
When: Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 5:00 pm ET
Where: Agenda Arena, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
In his last, Lucas Brown beat Junior Fa in the first round of a scheduled 10-round fight via technical knockout. In the bout right before facing Fa, Browne knocked out Faiga Opelu in the seventh round.
Favorite Jarrell Miller is 25-0-1. Miller’s lone blemish, a draw, happened back in 2013. Since the draw, Jarrell has won 21 straight.
For sure Jarrell should be the chalk in this. Browne, though, is the toughest opponent Miller has fought in a while. Backing the dog makes sense.

Oscar Duarte vs. Alex Martin
Boxing Odds: Oscar Duarte -285 vs. Alex Martin +193
Record: Oscar Duarte 24-1-1 / Alex Martin 18-4-1
When: Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 5:00 pm ET
Where: Walter Pyramid, Long Beach, California, USA – DAZN
Alex Martin has a decent 18-4 record. Martin has won 5-of-6. The loss in the last six came in a March 2022 bout versus then 21-0 Michael McKinson.
Martin has the tools to hang with Duarte for a few rounds but Oscar figures to take charge after the third. Oscar is 24-1-1 with 19 stoppage wins.
Duarte’s loss happened via split-decision against Adrian Estrella in 2019. Because Martin has suffered zero knockout or technical knockout losses, back Duarte on the money line, or if you want more value, back Oscar to win this via decision.

Mercito Gesta vs. Joseph Diaz Jr.
Boxing Odds: Mercito Gesta +465 vs. Joseph Diaz Jr. -909
Record: Mercito Gesta 33-3-3, 17 KOs / Joseph Diaz Jr. 32-3-1, 15 KOs
When: Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 9:00 pm ET
Where: Walter Pyramid, Long Beach, California, USA – DAZN
The odds imply Joseph Diaz easily handles Mercito Gesta. However, that may not be the case.
Gesta has a decent 33-3-3 record. Mercito has won 17 of his bouts before the final round. Also, Gesta heads into this off a victory, a 10-round unanimous decision win against Joel Diaz Jr.
Joseph Diaz Jr. is 32-3-1. Devin Haney beat Diaz Jr. two bouts ago and then in his last, Joseph lost to William Zepeda Segura.
Based on competition, Diaz Jr. wins this. But losing 2 straight can work on a boxer’s mind. Gesta is worth backing to pull off the upset win.

Gilberto Ramirez vs. Gabriel Rosado
Boxing Odds: Gilberto Ramirez Over 7.5 -117 vs. Gabriel Rosado Under 7.5 -117
Record: Gilberto Ramirez 44-1, 30 KOs / Gabriel Rosado 26-16-1, 15 KOs
When: Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 8:00 pm ET
Where: Walter Pyramid, Long Beach, California, USA – DAZN
At one time, Rosado could hang with a boxer like Gilberto Ramirez. That’s no longer the case.
Rosado has lost 4-of-5. All 4 losses were via decision.
However, Ramirez has more power than, maybe, any fighter Gabriel has fought. Also, this could be Rosado’s swan song. Ramirez gets the knockout win before the seventh ends. Under is the play.
Boxing Pick: Under 7.5 | Bet Gilberto Ramirez vs. Gabriel Rosado Today
