Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jossiel]

Looking at the schedule of matches from ESPN. I have no idea who's going to be a good match to watch.

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/12508267/boxing-schedule

Anyone who has a good insight and has followed any of the boxer on that schedule that's interesting to watch?

There are plenty of fights but you don't have to watch everything, it's all up to you, you watch the fight that you know who is fighting so you will get entertained. As for me, I am more interested to watch fights especially if it's a championship fight.

This month, I'll be watching the following fights.

- Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook
- Jerwin Ancajas vs. Fernando Martinez
- Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Vincent Astrolabio

Yes, there are too many matches and that's why I'm asking which are the matches that are interesting to watch since I'm not familiar with all of them. And that's why in particular, I'll just try to watch those that have been suggested and seems good to watch.

Those fights that you've suggested were all good.

I guess I'll watch the first and the last in that list.

What are the next few interesting boxing matches in the coming days and weeks? 

The most recent i can see is the one between Jacobs and Ryder on this Saturday, day after tomorrow. The next one is between brook and khan on Feb 19 but the most awaited one will be on April 30 between Taylor and Serrano.

For this month I just want to see brook vs khan and Taylor and Serrano and nothing else.
This is still what I'm waiting for, especially the match between Brook and Khan, I'm really looking forward to this because we already know that this is a reputational gamble and can be said to be a revenge duel.
Apart from that their Psywar is quite interesting so I would like to see the two trade blows in the ring

No doubt we will see a great fight on Khan vs Brook, both boxers are still entertaining though they are not in their prime it's still worth our bet. I guess Khan the underdog would stand a chance against Brook as the latter is not also winning fights in his previous fights.

I checked their last bet and brook is the underdog in this match. but indeed this is quite reasonable because it is possible that khan is currently underdog because indeed his weakness regarding his chin has been exposed to the public and of course brook will definitely take advantage of this well.

But indeed this is a fight full of revenge and it could be revenge for brook.
I still haven't decided on a champion until now because the two are quite balanced in my opinion.

Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook and Jerwin Ancajas vs. Fernando Martinez are the fights worth watching I'll skip Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Vincent Astrolabio, we all know what kind of fighter Guillermo Rigondeaux is, it's boring whenever Rigo is on the ring he refuses and is afraid to engage, the Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook is the most exciting fight to watch I have it in my calendar and we have a dedicated thread for this two warriors.

In addition to the upcoming fights you mentioned there is also the rematch between Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano next month. Although this is not the Charlo that was earlier rumored to be fighting against Canelo, this twin is also an interesting fighter. He is after all no less than the unified world super welterweight champion. This match will finally decide as to who among the two is the better man after a split draw last year.

But all these are not really mega fights. Especially compared to the Fury vs Whyte match in April.

Yeah, the first fight was controversial, Castano has more power shots as per stats but Charlo won the fight and ended up in a split draw. So this is a rematch and for the unification.

Charlo didn't win the fight. The fight ended with a split draw. Split draw means one fighter won in one of the judges' scorecards, the other won in another judge's scorecard, and the third judge scored the fight a draw.

The fight was a great fight. It was a unification bout. Various belts are on the line. The upcoming rematch on March 19 will be an equally exciting battle, if not more exciting than the first one. Four titles are on the line. This is going to be a tough fight for each other.

It was a very close fight, in the first two rounds, both boxers are exchanging blows like they were testing each other who will go down first but Charlo backed down on that challenge. After that, Castano unloaded and rained powerful punches to Charlo but luckily Charlo survived it. The last 2 rounds were the toughest ones, they both owned each round that resulted a draw to the fight.

This upcoming fight, it will be more tough and intense as both boxers are putting their titles on the line. Let's see it soon who will be hailed as the champion.

just some update on this thread regarding the fight of Jacobs vs  Ryder:

John Ryder Rallies in Second Half To Shock Daniel Jacobs By Split Decision

John Ryder earned a shot at WBA super-middleweight champion David Morrell with a split points decision over Daniel Jacobs at Alexandra Palace in North London.

In a fight of two halves, Jacobs cruised through the first half as Ryder struggled to find the range, before dramatically coming on from round seven.

The decision looked harsh on Jacobs, who appeared to have a shut-out in the first six rounds and came back into things late on. But Jacobs seemed to bring problems on himself, as he switched to southpaw, which seemed to suit Ryder more than him.

https://www.boxingscene.com/john-ryder-rallies-second-half-shock-daniel-jacobs-by-split-decision-results--164088

I haven't watch the fight but in paper it seems that Jacobs would win this fight.

However, it looks like Ryder as per the article rallied on the second half of the half and winning the fight by a split decision. Jacobs might be shot, lost his prime already. How can he left this fight slipped as this is important because he could still have a chance to become a world champion?

[btc_angela]

Jacobs is already 35 years old , so yeah, I guess he is already way past his prime years.

He might be remembered when he fought Canelo in 2019 but lost through UD. Then he also fought JCC Jr (another overrated fighter) and won when Chavez quit.

Maybe though he still has some fight in him, make some money and then quit the sports.

Maybe though he still has some fight in him, make some money and then quit the sports.

Age can really give a difference on how you fight even if you're a champion at your division but when it comes to age, it is really inevitable. As for Jacobs case, he is quite frankly a decent boxer with a 73% KO rate and his 2 losses came from GGG and Canelo respectively, unfortunately  he lost again to Ryder who's KO rate was just below 50%. So we can really tell, he's really not on his prime anymore and he may have some fight even at the age of 35 years old but the chance of winning is relatively small.

[chaser15]

Yes, there are too many matches and that's why I'm asking which are the matches that are interesting to watch since I'm not familiar with all of them.

Then how it can become interesting to you if you are not familiar with them? There are lots of upcoming matches that we are interested to watch but it's not the same case on how you see it. Like the upcoming big match between Ugas and Spence Jr. in April. It's a big fight that everyone wants to see but I don't know if that match will get your attention.

Another one is Casimero vs Butler, also in the same month. That was the rescheduled match after it was delayed last year, December.

[harizen]

So we can really tell, he's really not on his prime anymore and he may have some fight even at the age of 35 years old but the chance of winning is relatively small.

No doubt that there are now signs of being slowing down.

Age is really a factor, especially in a post-prime period. These boxers will surely realize if hanging their gloves is now an option if they will continue losing or not performing well.

In the case of Jacobs, he still won five of the first six rounds. He just got a lack of fuel at the end.

Yes, that was a very close fight. It was an interesting match between two highly talented boxers. Their upcoming rematch is even more interesting. A number of belts are on the line. And they could defeat each other. This is definitely not one of those lop-sided matches.

If we look at the odds, Charlo is the favorite and Castano the underdog, but the difference is not that big. So a moneyline bet on either fighters is a nice bet.

That's the reason why I'm asking for recommendations. What I'm not aware of, maybe interesting to the others and that would also be interesting to see IMO.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm also waiting for Casimero vs Butler.

That resulted in confusion on my part. It's hard to make choices where we see both boxers are equal. Even reading analysis, you will see both positive ratings and feedback at both boxers. Records are also not enough to make choices.

It's now ended up in a personal choice regardless of their characteristics.

On betting, let's expect that odds for other options are good especially on what Rounds the fight will end.

[bbc.reporter]

Lomachenko might be George Kambosos’ next opponent. Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia were also considered by the team of Kambosos, however, the best offer might be from Lomachenko’s team. This appears to be the return of the Ukranian lightweight to the championship. I speculate the sportsbooks might overestimate Kambosos’ upset on Teofimo Lopez and offer underdog odds on Lomachenko hehehe.



Report: Kambosos To Defend Lightweight Titles June 5 In Melbourne, Lomachenko Frontrunner

The date and venue for George Kambosos Jr.’s first defenses of his lightweight titles reportedly are set.

According to a report posted Tuesday afternoon on ESPN.com, Kambosos will defend his IBF, WBA, WBC “franchise” and WBO 135-pound championships on June 5 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, which can accommodate approximately 55,000 for boxing. Kambosos’ next fight thus would take place the night of June 4 in the United States.

[Jating]

^^ Yeah, it will be good if Kambosos will give Loma the chance to get back his title. I guess this is a good fight for Kambosos as well because he will be facing one of the best technical fighters we have currently. It's going to be a big test for him. He already did it once against Lopez, beat and pull one of the biggest upset. So let's see if he can make it 2 in row against Loma.

I find the Lomachencko fight better than the Haney fight, people love to see Loma he is a big attraction, and promoters and fighters want a big that can bring them big bucks, honestly, I don't see Loma becoming an underdog against Kambosos, Kambo might be the man who beat the man but Loma fighting 100% is a dangerous Loma, whichever Kambosos choose to fight will be interesting as long as they are credible names in the boxing industry.

According to 2 boxing experts in the forum, @Boafeng and @bisdak, Teofimo Lopez is not a cery good fighter. The only big name he has defeated is Lomachenko who was speculated to have personal problems before the fight. Let us wish that the sportsbooks will be biased on Kambosos and offer high winning odds for Lomachenko hehehe.

@judeafante. Agreed and according to the article, Kambosos told his team that he wanted a challenge. He will be very respected of he wins, however, the skeptical me is speculating that he might only be thinking that this is his only chance for big money. He will get the biggest opportunity while it is there and retire hehehehe.

For me, one of the best will be that, Casimero vs. Buttler, but I think that the one that everyone is waiting for is Casimero vs. Inoue, of course the fight organized by the WBO is something mandatory and I think it will happen because It is a business model where money is seen first and not much sport, however I think that now after the fight, the fans will ask for that fight by all means, but for the moment I think that the best fight will be the one with Casimero.

I haven't seen a discussion between the unified 140 lbs champion Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall.

This will happen on Feb. 26 and this is their press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRhANw_-_bo

Perhaps there is no hype on this fight because of the weight category, we all know that big fight is in 147 lbs. But there is a potential clash and making some noise between Crawford going down to 140 lbs again to face Josh.

It's because of Taylor's opponent, that's why there is no buzz in this fight.

I guess the better move for him is to go to 147 and test the waters if he wins this fight. Or probably wait for the 135 lbs, like Lopez moving up in weight or even Tank Davis, who already try 140 lbs and won a belt. And that's where the money is, not fighting someone that boxing fans are not familiar.
