Ocampo Takes on Fundora for the WBC Junior Middleweight Title | Boxing Lines

Boxing Events

• When: Saturday, Oct. 8

Chris Eubank Jr. -238 vs Conor Benn +161 | London – DAZN 

Eubank Jr. hasn’t lost since a 2014 bout versus Billy Joe Saunders. Since then, he’s won 15 straight, which is the reason he’s the favorite in this.

But on Saturday, Eubank Jr. battles a tough customer in Conor Benn. The underdog in this bout has an excellent 21-0 record. Not only that, but Benn has knocked out 14 of his opponents. Also, Benn is younger than Eubank Jr. by seven years. 

No doubt, Chris can win this fight but Benn is the play to hand Eubank Jr. his first loss in the last eight years. 

Boxing Pick: Conor Benn  

Egidijus Kavaliauskas -476 vs Mykal Fox +278 | Carson, California – Showtime 

Favorite Egidijus Kavaliauskas has an excellent 22-2-1 record with 18 knockout wins. Kavaliauskas has lost 2 of his last 3 bouts. 

We shouldn’t hold the losses against Kavaliauskas. The first happened versus pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford. The second occurred in a bout against then 17-0 Vergel Ortiz Jr. 

Mykal Fox is 22-3. Fox has lost his last couple of bouts versus opponents that wouldn’t have much shot against Egidijus. Not only that, but Mykal has almost zero power because he’s won just 3 bouts via KO or TKO. Kavaliauskas wins.  

Boxing Pick: Egidijus Kavaliauskas 

Fernando Daniel Martinez -322 vs Jerwin Ancajas +203 | IBF Junior Middleweight Title

Fernando Daniel Martinez and Jerwin Ancajas threw down on February 26. Ancajas and Martinez battled for 12 rounds. 

At the end of the fight, Martinez had done enough for a unanimous decision. No doubt, the 14-0 Martinez is an excellent boxer. But Ancajas has the experience to get it done on Saturday. 

Ancajas is 33-2-2 with 22 KO or TKO wins. Jerwin exacts his revenge. 

Boxing Pick: Jerwin Ancajas  

Carlos Adames -666 vs Juan Macias Montiel +347 | WBC Interim Middleweight Title

Juan Macias Montiel has a great 23-5-2 record. All 23 Montiel victories have arrived via knockout or technical knockout. 

The underdog in this has power for sure. But Montiel’s last fight shouldn’t provide confidence he can hang with Adames.

Montiel beat Christian Soto Valverde via second-round knockout last December. The bout happened in Mexico and Valverde stepped into the ring with a 14-11 record.

Carlos Adames is 21-1 with 16 knockout wins. Since a 2019 loss, Adames has won 3 straight. The chalk takes this. 

Boxing Pick: Carlos Adames 

Sebastian Fundora -1000 vs Carlos Ocampo +460 | WBC Interim Junior Middleweight Title

Carlos Ocampo is 34-1 with 22 knockout or technical knockout wins. Ocampo hasn’t lost since Errol Spence Jr. beat him via first round knockout in 2018.

Sebastian Fundora is undefeated with a 19-0-1 record. Fundora has knocked out 13 of his opponents. Based on level of competition, Fundora should win this.

The chalk bested then 33-0 Sergio Garcia via unanimous decision last December. Then in April, Fundora ended Erickson Lubin’s night in the ninth.

But although Fundora should win, Ocampo is worth backing. He has more experience and the loss happened against one of the world’s pound-for-pound best. Carlos Ocampo gets the nod. 

Boxing Pick: Carlos Ocampo

Undefeated Guido Vianello takes on Jonathan Rice on Saturday night in what should be an excellent bout. Vianello versus Rice is one of Saturday’s headline fights on a day when YouTube boxer Olajide Olatunji also throws down. Check out Boxing Lines, analysis, and free picks for five bouts taking place on Saturday, Jan. 14.

Davis Takes on Luis Garcia in Saturday’s Top Bout | Boxing Odds to Bet On the Weekend

• When: Saturday, Jan. 14

Thomas Oliveira +644 vs Olajide Olatunji -1666

Olatunji, known as KSI to his fans, was supposed to take on mixed-martial-artist Dillon Danis. KSI last fought in August where he beat two fighters: YouTube rival Swarmz and Luis Pineda. 

On Saturday, Olatunji takes on Thomas Olievera. Known as FaZe Temperrr, there’s some reason to believe the underdog in this gets it done. 

Temperrr has a decent 2-1 record for an amateur. Not only that, but he trains as hard as KSI. Also, Olievera is 4 inches taller, weighs more, and has an inch reach advantage. 

Sure, KSI should win. But the odds discount Olievera’s advantages. Temperrr has a much better shot than the odds imply.    

Boxing Pick: Thomas Oliveira

Edwin Rodriguez +290 vs Floyd Diaz -476

American Floyd Diaz has a nice 8-0 record with 3 knockout victories. Diaz hopes to push the record to 9 when he throws down against veteran Edwin Rodriguez on Saturday.

Rodriguez is 11-6-2 with 5 knockout wins. Edwin last fought in 2021, which puts him at a disadvantage to win this. If Rodriguez is at the top of his game, he will out box his odds. 

But there’s no telling Edwin’s shape. So although Diaz is a slight underlay at his odds, backing Floyd is the way to go.  

Boxing Pick: Floyd Diaz  

Abraham Nova -116 vs Adam Lopez -119

Abraham Nova versus Adam Lopez projects as one of this weekend’s most competitive matches. Nova last fought in June 2022. Abraham lost the bout but it was against well-regarded Robeisy Ramirez. 

Adam Lopez is 16-3-1 with 6 knockout wins. Lopez beat William Encarnacion via unanimous decision in a bout that happened last May.

When odds dropped Lopez was more of a favorite. Late money has rolled onto Nova. But Ramirez exposed a few flaws in Abraham’s game. The slight chalk remains the choice. 

Boxing Pick: Adam Lopez 

Stephen Shaw -166 vs Efe Ajagba +120

Favored Stephan “Big Shot” Shaw is undefeated with an 18-0 record. Shaw has won 13 of his bouts via stoppage.

But although Shaw is undefeated, he’s a 3-year-old veteran up against a 28-year-old boxer with a single loss. Efe Ajagba lost to Frank Sanchez in 2021.

Last year, Ajagba bounced back with a fantastic victory over Jozsef Darmos. Efe beat Darmos via second-round technical knockout. No doubt, Ajagba is one of the toughest fighters Shaw has ever faced. Backing the dog makes sense. 

Boxing Pick: Efe Ajagba 

Jonathan Rice -136 vs Guido Vianello -101

Favored Jonathan Rice is 15-6-1 with 10 knockout victories. Rice has won his last 2 fights. Both bouts were against Michael Polite Coffie.

On Saturday, Rice takes on 10-0-1 Guido Vianello. The slight dog has won 9 of his bouts via stoppage. Vianello, no doubt, has what it takes to win this. 

Rice hasn’t faced power like Vianello’s in a while. Guido is the pick.  

Boxing Pick: Guido Vianello

Artur Beterbiev owns three of boxing’s light heavyweight division belts. Beterbiev would like nothing more than to grab the fourth. But before Artur can face off agianst Dmitry Bivol for the WBC Light Heavyweight Championship, he must get by Anthony Yarde in Yarde’s backyard on Saturday. Check out analysis and a free Boxing Betting pick for Yarde versus Beterbiev as well as four other of Saturday’s top boxing matches.

Boxing Events

• When: Saturday, Jan. 28

Artem Dalakian -147 vs David Jimenez +106 | WBA Flyweight Title

• London, England – 3:00 pm ET on ESPN+

Dalakian versus Jimenez should be a fantastic matchup. Artem is the slight favorite because he’s got a 21-0 record. 

Not only is Dalakian undefeated but he also has 15 stoppage victories. Of those 15 stoppage wins, 13 were via technical knockout and 2 were via straight up knockout. 

Jimenez is 12-0. David has 5 knockout wins, 3 technical knockout victories, and a referee technical decision victory. Jimenez last fought in July 2016. 

Dalakian’s last bout was November 2021. Not only that, but this is Artem’s first fight outside of the Ukraine. Backing Jimenez makes sense. 

Boxing Pick: David Jimenez  

Anthony Yarde +430 vs Artur Beterbiev -833 | WBA, WBO, IBF Lightweight Titles

• London, England – 3:00 pm ET on ESPN+

For sure, Yarde has skill. Anthony uses his feet well, moves in and out of trouble, and can throw with both hands.

But although Yarde is a skilled boxer, he’s in trouble. Artur Beterbiev is 18-0 with 18 knockouts for a reason. Beterbiev doesn’t just have power. He wins angles so that he can throw his most powerful shots.

Yarde also tends to leave his hands under his chin, which is a recipe for disaster. Beterbiev will land an overhand right or left that ends Yarde’s night early.  

Boxing Pick: Artur Beterbiev 

Oscar Collazo vs Yudel Reyes

• Inglewood, CA – DAZN

Collazo was supposed to face Wilfredo Mendez. But Mendez suffered an injury a couple of weeks back, which is why when Oscar steps into the ring on Saturday, he’ll take on Yudel Reyes. 

The underdog in this bout has an excellent 15-1 record. The knock against Reyes is that this is his first bout stateside. But if you can look past that issue, he’s good enough to challenge Collazo.

Oscar is 5-0 with 3 technical knockout wins. No doubt, he’s going to attract a ton of action. For sure, the likely favorite can win this. Backing Reyes, though, makes sense. 

Boxing Pick: Oscar Collazo 

Floyd Schofield -2500 vs Alberto Mercado +752

• Inglewood, CA – DAZN

Alberto Mercado has a decent 17-4-1 record. However, Mercado has only stopped 4 of his opponents. That’s a huge red flag for those looking to back the underdog.

Floyd Schofield is one of the sports up and comers. 10 of Schofield’s 12 victories have come via stoppage. Floyd has knocked out 6 of his opponents, has won 3 via TKO, and has a referee technical decision victory on the record. Schofield ends Mercado’s night early. So, look for a knockout prop. 

Boxing Pick: Floyd Schofield  

Alexis Rocha vs Georgie Ashie 

• Inglewood, CA – DAZN

Rocha was supposed to fight Anthony Young, but Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya’s boxing outfit, replaced Young with George Ashie. Once oddsmakers change the line, Alexis Rocha might be more than a -5000 favorite. 

Does Ashie have any chance of upsetting Rocha? Ashie is 33-5-1 and has yet to fight outside of his native Ghana. 

Ghana has terrific gyms. But Rocha is a legit welterweight title contender. So, no, Ashie doesn’t have much chance. Look for a knockout prop before accepting what’s likely to be -5000 or worse odds. 

Boxing Pick: Alexis Rocha
