[Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Shuichiro Yoshino April 8

[AmoreJaz]

But it's slim though, we all know how good Shakur is and he wouldn't let someone deter his goals of fighting for the belt next. So we should lean on Shakur with a big win via ko/tko.

The winning method odds for Shakur to win via knockout should be high because he's not a knockout artist, so it would be profitable if you want to bet that's option. Yoshino haven't lose in any fight and he tend to win via knockout, so it's quite hard to judge how good his chin. I still think Shakur win via decision is high likely to happen, but the odds still not included and if it's not worth, it's better for me to bet via knockout.

Exactly, the likelihood of Shakur winning by KO is not high. Would you bet on Shakur to win via KO, knowing his boring strategy in boxing? Personally, I doubt that he will win by KO in this fight. Most likely, it will still go the full 12 rounds, and he will win via unanimous decision. However, if you like to have fun and are willing to take the risk, then Shakur winning by KO could be the right bet for you.

I agree though, his knockout percentage is not even 50%, so most likely it will be a long and deliberate fight for him against Yoshino, unless he become a big hitter and Yoshino doesn't have a good chin to begin with.

It might be better though for me at least, so just sit out this match.

And wait for the outcome because the next fight might be the good one to bet. Shakur vs the winner of Haney vs Loma.

If you can take that risk and you are aiming for a considerable profit then it's on you to decide. I mean, knowing the strategy
of Shakur, he will continue to seek for his advantage in winning by UD.

Unless he's camp already change his strategy and starts practicing him on a KO base fight, we can't tell if how things will proceed.

It's on the bettors' decision whether to bet on KO or UD, but most likely Shakur is the favorite here.

also, shakur's name rings a bell more than his japanese opponent. so yeah, i agree that shakur will be the favourite of bookies here. if you are not very sure about the winning method for this match, you can always place a bet in the major betting line. but in my opinion, shakur will likely win on this match. but should not be confident as the KO percentage of yoshino is about 75% as compared to 47% for shakur.

I check 2 sports bookies and so far the only is odds listed is the ML, so no value if we are going to bet on Shakur. But if we wanted to go for the Japanese underdog at 7.x, now is the time to bet (but as I have said, the chances are slim to win either by decision or ko/tko).

So let's wait for more line to be offered, maybe we can see some value if there will be more options for Shakur like winning by decision or even winning by knockout or which round. Maybe the referee will have to stop it when he sees the Japanese taking more damage from Shakur jab and pin point accuracy in this match.

Enticing for gambler who love to take the big risk and hope for some luck, 7x of your initial bet would be nice if the Japanese
fighter will manage to upset Shakur.

For sure, there are gamblers who will take the ML for Shakur even the winning odd is small, some might place a big amount to win
decently.

While for loyal fans who support Shakur, chances that even with small possible winnings it will add to their enjoyment while
watching the fight.

[goldkingcoiner]

^^ I would agree, decent to good opponent for Shakur but I doubt that he can upset Stevenson at this point. So I will have to put Shakur here winning maybe by a knockout or complete domination of the fight.

No offense to the Japanese fighter, he had the belt in Asia, beat Nakatani who gave Teo Lopez all he can handle and also fought Loma in his comeback fight. But that is not enough resume to beat the likes of Shakur right now.

Shuichiro Yoshino is an impressive boxer and I do not doubt that he will give Shakur Stevenson a good fight and maybe even make Shakur sweat nervously a bit. But there is no denying that Shakur is going to be the winner of this upcoming match. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. That is just how good Shakur is. Yoshino is a promising boxer but he does not have the necessary skills and experience to fight against the big dogs.

Who would not know about who is Shakur Stevenson when the man almost dominated the whole super featherweight and if it weren't for his weight issues, he could've defeated Robson legally and probably will become the undisputed champion in the years to come. But it is what it is, he is now campaigning at lightweight where there's so many huge names in the same division. It might unfortunate for the Japanese boxer but I strongly think that he's just a stepping stone.

Yes, there might be some gamblers willing to take that huge risk and bet on the underdog here. Perhaps some of his Japanese might will do.

On the other hard, there is also Shakur's fan, not sure though if they are taking that ML because the returns are not profitable, unless they are whales or have deep pockets. Of course or money will be on Shakur, but we will have to wait for other betting options, to at least get a good odds for or money in this fight. Decision or later stoppage might be a good option to look at this fight.

Nah, smart money should be on Shakur Stevenson and not on Yoshino. For me even with that huge odds for him, I wouldn't take that bite, just saying. Shakur will be too good for Yoshino in this fight. This is the Japanese first fight out of his native home country, and so there will be adjustment because this is a big stage and he might not take the limelight. As for what will be the good bet for Shakur, we will have to wait and see then. No value for ML, but if there are more options, then obviously we are going to bet on that with a higher odds.

I agree with you. No one will bet on this underdog since he is not even popular. Betting on Shakur does not necessarily mean you'll take the moneyline. There are other betting options, such as betting on the specific round Yoshino will be knocked out, or the range of rounds, which typically groups every three rounds. If you want higher odds, then bet on Shakur to win via KO. Based on his previous fights, he is not really a KO artist.

Yep, ML is not attractive odds are very low t o bet on it.

Currently on my favorite sports bookies, the over/under rounds is 10.5 and it seems that the under looks juicy at 3.80 already, so I might look for that odds as this fight will not go to judges scorecard and Shakur might stop him with body shots.

And Shakur b KO/TKO = 3.75.

Even if we say Yoshino is popular, it's still not advisable to bet on him because the odds itself suggests that his chances are not that good against Shakur Stevenson if this is the latter's first fight in the weight class. Talking about the present odds, it's already expected that the ML is really not juicy because a 7:1? That's much more worse than the Butler-Inoue fight.
Hopefully, the bookies will release more betting options much sooner as we're already a month away from the fight date.

Yes, that thing with Yoshino is that he is not stateside, so bookies and fans are not familiar with him. Although we might see in his records that he is good, but still he is facing an American fighter who is in his prime and rising in ranks.

Bookies already released more options already mate, you can check it out already:

See? A 25.00 odds for Yoshino to win by a way of decision. Imagine if Shakur will get upset in this fight, that's an instant big payday but in reality, that's not really likely. The power difference between him and Shakur is so wide that you can't even imagine the latter being defeated in this battle.

But for Shakur's odds, I might check that out again before this month ends as 3.80 seems decent enough for me. Shakur to win via KO is not that impossible, just a thought.

Yes, that odds might be juicy and tempting to see but it's not that realistic because the Japanese pride is not that well known to be a strong boxer or somehow a treat to Shakur's career especially in this time where it is the latter's first fight at 135 pounds. But for those bettors who likes betting on a heavy underdog, this is for them.

But for Shakur's odds, I might check that out again before this month ends as 3.80 seems decent enough for me. Shakur to win via KO is not that impossible, just a thought.

Don't forget that these odds might change overtime and that 3.80 is decent enough because that is by a way of KO/TKO in favor of Shakur.

Betting on the Japanese underdog is like throwing money.  Looking at their record, it is clear that the Japanese has been fighting local boxers so the quality of his opponent is probably not that great.  The Japanese boxer is bound to lose here, and probably via early KO or stoppage.

[/quote]

I've seen few of Yoshino's fights. He is tough as a nail and i really doubt for KO. Most likely 12 rounds, or at least that's what i am betting. I would also so much like to see him winning but that's a bit far fetched as he seems weaker than Shakur, but i might bet that just for high multiplier. I like more or less irrational betting when there's enough incentive.

[Viscore]

^^ I would agree, decent to good opponent for Shakur but I doubt that he can upset Stevenson at this point. So I will have to put Shakur here winning maybe by a knockout or complete domination of the fight.

No offense to the Japanese fighter, he had the belt in Asia, beat Nakatani who gave Teo Lopez all he can handle and also fought Loma in his comeback fight. But that is not enough resume to beat the likes of Shakur right now.

Same feedback here. This Japanese boxer may have achieved past winning performances but I don’t see him a perfect match for Shakur. Though both are professionals on their own career, but seeing this Japanese boxer past performances, I would say he won’t easily beat Shakur because Shakur is definitely a tough and hard to beat opponent. Still, this will test them both who will dominate the fight and maybe still make a good fight in the end.

Speaking of Nakatani, this is the video of their fight,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-V1g25bKY

And you'll be the judge if Yoshino has the tools to beat a great fighter in Stevenson. I think if Shakur wanted to score a knockout, he can do that in this fight, just saying. And looking at the odds, it's very much as juicy as we can take, it's 3.x, hehehe. And I don't think that odds will change, we can make that beat even at the fight date is closer.

Unless there's upset or a lucky punch that will convert to shake Shakur which really surprise everyone, but yeah, getting your point
with the types of those previous fight that Yoshino before.

That's far from the quality of Shakur and I also anticipate that the chance of KO can take place in between, Shakur is far superior for Yoshino


We will see that when they already inside the ring and showcasing their individual skills.

But there is no denying that Shakur is going to be the winner of this upcoming match. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. That is just how good Shakur is. Yoshino is a promising boxer but he does not have the necessary skills and experience to fight against the big dogs.

Yoshino might have beaten Nakatani by TKO but he will be facing probably the quickest hand speed and footwork in boxing right now. And Shakur is always overloaded with confidence and he will be more confident than ever since he is back in front of his hometown. Shakur is not heavy-handed but there is really a chance of him stopping Yoshino if the Japanese cannot earn his respect in the early rounds. Maybe Shakur's chin is untested, especially in this division so this is the chance for Yoshino to test it.

If Haney will win over Loma and won't move up in weight, imagine how big the fight will be between him and Shakur. Tank and Kingry can only watch and envy because they don't dare to be great.

If Haney will win over Loma and won't move up in weight, imagine how big the fight will be between him and Shakur. Tank and Kingry can only watch and envy because they don't dare to be great.

Then there's also a chance Shakur can win via TKO against Yoshino because he can make Yoshino can't fight with him due to different level of technicalities. Shakur is smart, but he just lack of power.

I think both of Tank and Garcia know if they're not good enough to beat Loma or Haney, but at least they fight with each other to fulfill the hope from boxing fans and after that they will high likely move to the next weight.
