Top Boxing Lines: Shields Battles Cornejo For the Women’s Middleweight Title | MyBookie Boxing Betting Preview

Boxing Events: Saturday, June 3

Leon Bunn vs. Rostam Ibrahim

Boxing Odds: Leon Bunn +103 vs. Rostam Ibrahim -142

Ibrahim deserves to be the chalk in this. The -142 favorite sports an undefeated 11-0-2 record. The last draw happened against then 5-0 Chico Kwasi via split-decision in a 2021 bout.

Since the draw, Ibrahim has won 4 straight. The last win came in a November 2022 bout.

Leon Bunn is 19-1. Bunn suffered a sixth round technical knockout loss to then 14-0 Padraig McCrory in October last year. Since the loss, Bunn has bounced back with a nice referee technical decision win against Slavisa Simeunovic on April 30.

Bunn has proven he can return from a bad loss. The odds difference makes the underdog more than playable.

Sarah Liegmann vs. Carisse Brown

Boxing Odds: Sarah Liegmann -1428 vs. Carisse Brown +590

Leigmann is undefeated with a 7-0 record. But although Leigmann hasn’t lost a bout, she doesn’t appear to have a ton of power because she’s won just 2 of her fights via stoppage.

Carisse Brown is 7-4. We’d write that Brown has a shot but she has been on the losing end of 3 straight bouts. Brown has lost her last 2 via technical knockout. So look for a prop on Liegmann to end Brown’s night early before backing Sarah on the money line.

Antonio Todd vs. Joseph Hicks

Boxing Odds: Antonio Todd +383 vs. Joseph Hicks -666

Underdog Antonio Todd is 14-7 with 8 stoppage victories. Todd lost his last, but it was against then 22-1 Anthony Sims Jr.

Joseph Hicks is 6-0 with 5 stoppage wins. The favorite in this, that’s Hicks, has looked great against subpar competition. On Saturday, Hicks takes on a boxer who has more skill than any the favorite has faced. Although Hicks should win, the odds make the dog more than playable.

Ardreal Holmes Jr. vs. Wendy Toussaint

Boxing Odds: Ardreal Holmes Jr. -370 vs. Wendy Toussaint +244

Wendy Toussaint is a solid boxer. The underdog in this bounced back from a loss to Charles Conwell in 2020 with victories against Travis Gambardella and Asinia Byfield last year.

But although Toussaint is a decent boxer, he takes on ultra-talented Ardreal Holmes Jr. on Saturday night. Holmes Jr. has a 13-0 undefeated record and beat a decent boxer in Ismael Villarreal in his last. Holmes Jr. is the bet.

Maricela Cornejo vs. Claressa Shields

Undisputed Women’s Middleweight Championship
Boxing Odds: Maricela Cornejo +1000 vs. Claressa Shields -10000

It’s impossible to back Clarissa Shields at -10000 odds. But it’s also impossible to back Maricela Cornejo to get the upset win.

Cornejo is 16-5 and overmatched. She has almost zero shot of coming close to winning this bout. Since this is supposedly Shields’ final boxing match before her MMA career, we should expect her to look for the knockout.

Although Claressa has stopped just 2 of her 13 opponents before the final bell, who knows? Maybe, Shields will be motivated for the stoppage win. Look for a Shields KO or TKO prop before backing Claressa on the money line.
