Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. Run It Back | Boxing Lines

Boxing Events

• When: Saturday, Oct. 13

Mikaela Mayer -280 vs Alycia Baumgardner +230

• WBO/WBC/IBF Junior Lightweight Women’s Titles
• London, England – ESPN+

Underdog Alycia Baumgardner is 12-1 with 7 knockout victories. Baumgardner’s only loss happened in 2018 versus Christina Linardatou. 

Since then, Baumgardner has won 5 straight. 1 of the victories includes beating then 11-0-1 Terri Harper in 2021. Baumgardner will put up a fight for sure.

But the underdog won’t beat chalk Mikaela Mayer. The -280 choice is 17-0 with 5 knockout wins. Mayer has terrific boxing skills and is 3 inches taller than Baumgardner. The champ keeps the challenger at the end of her job on her way to a decision victory. 

Boxing Pick: Mikaela Mayer  

Claressa Shields -131 vs Savannah Marshall -105

• WBC/IBV/WBA Middleweight Women’s Titles

Claressa “T-Rex” Shields is a superb boxer, which is the reasons she’s 12-0. Shields also has a terrific 64-1 amateur record.

The only amateur loss happened versus her Saturday opponent, Savannah Marshall. Like Shields, Marshall is 12-0.

The difference between the two fighters is that Marshall has knocked out 10 of her opponents while Shields has just 2 knockout wins. Claressa can take this fight, but Savannah has an edge. Her power will slow Shields down enough for either a late round stoppage or a scorecards victory.  

Boxing Pick: Savannah Marshall  

Gary Antonio Russell -227 vs Emmanuel Rodriguez +159

• Brooklyn, NY – PBC on Fox PPV

There’s every reason to believe Gary Antonio Russell wins this bout. Russell is 19-0 and has won 12 of his bouts via knockout or technical knockout.

Rodriguez also has a great record. Emmanuel has lost twice and won 20. Rodriguez’s 2 losses came against then 20-0 Raymart Gaballo in 2020 and Nayoa Inoue in 2019. Inoue is one of the top pound for pound fighters on the planet. 

These two recently fought last August in a bout that ended via first round referee stoppage due to a head butt. Russell has a good shot of winning this but the odds on Rodriguez make him an overlay.   

Boxing Pick: Emmanuel Rodriguez  

Deontay Wilder -909  vs Robert Helenius +457 

Robert Helenius is a good heavyweight. His 2 victories over Adam Kownacki proves he’s got skills. 

The problem for Helenius is he faces Deontay Wilder on Saturday. Wilder has a fantastic chin. Also, although Deontay lost his last 2 fights, they were against one of the greatest heavyweights in history, Tyson Fury. 

Wilder should have no trouble ending Helenius’ night early. So if you don’t want to back Deontay at the odds, look for a knockout round prop or bet under the total. 

Boxing Pick: Deontay Wilder  

Devin Haney -1000 vs George Kambosos Jr. +476

• Melbourne, Australia – ESPN / ESPN+

Kambosos is one of the toughest boxers in any weight class. The problem for George in this bout, the same problem he had in the first fight, is he doesn’t have the pugilist skills to hang with Devin Haney.

Haney uses his jab to keep his opponents away from him and then delivers pinpoint power punches. Kambosos will throw and miss while Haney will throw and connect.

Devin should win no problem but accepting -1000 is asking a lot. So like with the Wilder fight, look for a prop that has a better payout. 

Boxing Pick: Devin Haney

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
