Saturday’s Top Bouts and Title Matches | MyBookie Boxing Betting Preview

Boxing Events: Saturday, July 1, 2023

Mark Jeffers vs. Zak Chelli

Boxing Odds: Mark Jeffers +198 vs. Zak Chelli -294
AO Arena Manchester | Lancashire, United Kingdom

On paper, it looks like underdog Jeffers has a big shot to win this. He’s scored just 3 technical knockout and 1 knockout win, but the 15-0 record suggests he can take this.

A closer look, though, reveals that Jeffers is a replacement for Mark Heffron. Not only is Jeffers a replacement, but he hasn’t fought anybody close to Zak Chelli’s level. The favorite gets the win.

Franchon Crews vs. Savannah Marshall

Super Middleweight Women’s Undisputed Title
Boxing Odds: Franchon Crews +302 vs. Savannah Marshall -500
AO Arena Manchester | Lancashire, United Kingdom

Both Franchon Crews and Savannah Marshall have a single loss on their records. Not only have both lost once, but both have lost to the same opponent, Claressa Shields.

Shields beat Crews in Franchon’s first bout, Crews’ first ever fight that happened in 2016. Franchon lost via unanimous decision. The bout was a four rounder, which shouldn’t alarm anybody.

Marshall’s loss happened in her last. Shields beat her via unanimous decision. Both women can make a case to take this. But Marshall has fought 13 times with the single loss to Shields and has scored 10 victories via stoppage. Savannah wins and she likely wins before the final bell.

Jahi Tucker vs. Nicklaus Flaz

Boxing Odds: Jahi Tucker -1250 vs. Nicklaus Flaz +538
Huntington Center | Toledo, Ohio

Nicklaus Flaz has a decent 10-2 record with 7 technical knockout or knockout wins. Flaz bounced back from a 2020 fist round TKO loss to Janelson Bocachica with an eight round majority decision victory against Brian Ceballo in his last. The fight against Ceballo happened in 2022.

Jahi Tucker is 10-0. Tucker has 5 stoppage victories. Also, Jahi has fought the much better opponents. If you don’t want to back Jahi on the money line, consider going under the total or backing the chalk on a TKO or KO prop.

Arslanbek Makhmudov vs. Raphael Akpejiori

Boxing Odds: Arslanbek Makhmudov -1111 vs. Raphael Akpejiori +510
Huntington Center | Toledo, Ohio

Makhmudov versus Akpejiori may not last past the third or fourth round, but it’s going to be as action packed as it gets.

Makhmudov is 16-0 with 15 TKO or KO victories. Akpejiori has stopped 14 of his opponents before the final bell in his 15 wins.

The favorite has fought and beaten the tougher competition. So look for a KO or TKO prop or go under before backing Makhmudov on the money line.  

Boxing Pick: Arslanbek Makhmudov | Bet Arslanbek Makhmudov vs. Raphael Akpejiori Today

Jared Anderson Over vs. Charles Martin

Boxing Odds: Jared Anderson Over 4.5 +102 vs. Charles Martin Under 4.5 -140
Huntington Center | Toledo, Ohio

Jared Anderson has won all 14 of his bouts via stoppage. Only one opponent has gone longer than 4 rounds versus Big Baby.

Charles Martin is 29-3-1. Martin lost his last bout via technical knockout. The loss came against Luis Ortiz and it happened in the sixth round.

For sure, Anderson can knock out Martin before the end of the fourth. But Charles knows his best shot is to stay away from Jared’s power. Going over makes sense.

Boxing Pick: Over 4.5 | Bet Jared Anderson vs. Charles Martin Today

Teofimo Lopez requires a signature win to again become one of boxing’s biggest draws. On Saturday night, Lopez gets his chance when he takes on Josh Taylor for Taylor’s WBO Jr. Welterweight title. Lopez will head into the ring the underdog. Can Teofimo get it done?

Check out boxing lines, analysis, and a pick for Lopez versus Taylor and four other of this Saturday’s top matches.

Boxing Events: Saturday, June 10

Nina Hughes vs. Katie Healy

Boxing Odds: Nina Hughes -666 vs. Katie Healy +368
WBA Women’s Bantamweight Title

Based on her record, Katie Healy shouldn’t be as big of an underdog as she is. Healy is 6-0. She heads into this after easily handling Katherine Quintana via points.

However, Healy hasn’t fought strong competition. Quintana entered the ring with an 0-17-1 record. In Healy’s fight before facing Quintana, Matshidiso Mokebisi was 15-9-1

Nina Hughes is 5-0 and has a win over then 8-0-2 Jamie Mitchell. Hughes has also won a couple of bouts via technical knockout. The favorite takes this.

Cherneka Johnson vs. Ellie Scotney

Boxing Odds: Cherneka Johnson +322 vs. Ellie Scotney -526
IBF Women’s Junior Featherweight Title

6-0 Ellie Scotney has excellent boxing skills. However, Scotney lacks power, which could cost her on Saturday.

Cherneka Johnson is 15-1. The loss happened in 2021 against then 20-6-1 Shannon O’Connell via split-decision. Since the loss, Johnson has beaten Melissa Esquivel and Susie Ramadan. Taking a shot on the underdog makes sense.

Boxing Pick: Jaime Munguia | Bet Cherneka Johnson vs. Ellie Scotney Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

Jamie Munguia vs. Sergei Derevyanchenko

Boxing Odds: Jamie Munguia -666 vs. Sergei Derevyanchenko +383

Sergei Derevyanchenko won his last bout over Joshua Connelly but before that, Derevyanchenko had lost two straight. Carlos Adames and Jermall Charlo beat Derevyanchenko via decision.

Jamie Munguia is 41-0 with 33 stoppage wins. Mungia is 6-0. Drevyanchenko if 5’ 9 ½”. The height difference gives Munguia a massive edge.

Sergei has never lost via knockout. So going over the total round or looking for a prop for this to go the distance will be a better play than backing Munguia on the money line.

Omar Rosario vs. Jan Carlos Rivera

Boxing Odds: Omar Rosario -232 vs. Jan Carlos Rivera +161

Rosario versus Rivera projects as one of this Saturday’s top matches. Both boxers have skills that could get them the victory.

The -232 favorite is 10-0 with 2 KO wins and a TKO victory. Rosario won his last via first round knockout. However, Omar faced then 3-3 Zach Hill.

This is a step up for the chalk. Jan Carlos Rivera is 8-1 with 6 wins before the final bell. The odds on Jan Carlos make the dog more than playable.

Teofimo Lopez vs. Josh Taylor

Boxing Odds: Teofimo Lopez +146 vs. Josh Taylor -208
WBO Junior Welterweight Title

Lopez will have his backers, but that doesn’t mean he wins this bout. George Kambosos upset Teofimo. Then in his second fight after the 2020 upset win agianst Vasiliy Lomachenko, Sandor Martin knocked down Lopez before the dog in this rallied for the win.

Josh Taylor is taller, has a longer rich, and has a dynamite chin. Teofimo tends to leave his gloves under his chin, but unlike Mike Tyson, who bobbed and weaved his way inside, Lopez likes to walk down his opponents.

Not only that, but Teofimo also has a habit of pointing his elbows out when he throws, taking speed off his punches. The Lopez of old is no more. Taylor wins this.

Claressa Shields steps into a boxing ring for what many believe will be the final time on Saturday. After her bout with Maricela Cornejo, Shields plans on switching to a mixed martial arts career. Before Shields has her boxing swan song, Ardreal Holmes Jr. throws down against Wendy Toussaint and Antonio Todd battles Joseph Hicks.

Check out boxing lines, analysis, and free picks for the top bouts on DAZN’s Saturday night boxing card as well as an intriguing fight between Leon Bunn and Rostam Ibrahim.

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.

Boxing Pick: Leon Bunn | Bet Sarah Liegmann vs. Carisse Brown Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

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.

Boxing Pick: Sarah Leigmann | Bet Sarah Liegmann vs. Carisse Brown Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

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.

Boxing Pick: Antonio Todd | Bet Antonio Todd vs. Joseph Hicks Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

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.

Boxing Pick: Ardreal Holmes Jr. | Bet Ardreal Holmes Jr. vs. Wendy Toussaint Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

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.

Harold Calderon vs. Shakhram Giyasov

Boxing Odds: Harold Calderon +521 vs. Shakhram Giyasov -1111
Smoothie King Center, USA | Saturday, June 17, 2023
Middleweight Bout

On paper, it looks like Calderon offers overlay odds. The underdog in this is 27-0 with 18 knockout or technical knockout victories. A closer look reveals that Calderon is 35-years-old and hasn’t come close to fighting a boxer on Shakhram Giyasov’s level.

The favorite in this is 13-0 with 9 stoppage victories. In his last, Giyasov beat then 22-2-1 Christian Gomez via tenth round unanimous decision. Giyasov can win via KO. So consider making a prop bet.

Regis Prograis vs. Danielito Zorrilla

Boxing Odds: Regis Prograis -2000 vs. Danielito Zorrilla +659
WBC Junior Lightweight Title
Smoothie King Center, USA | Saturday, June 17, 2023
Lightweight Bout

Zorrilla is a decent boxer. However, Danielito goes against one of the better boxers on the planet on Saturday night.

Regis Prograis’ lone loss came versus Josh Taylor back in 2019 when Taylor was at the height of his career. Prograis is longer than Zorilla, which means Regis should be able to control the pace of the fight and keep Danielito at a distance. The champ can get the challenger out of there before the final bell.

Justin Frost vs. Hassan Hamdan

Boxing Odds: Justin Frost +165 vs. Hassan Hamdan -238
Queensland, Australia | Sunday, June 18, 2023
Super Lightweight Bout

Underdog Justin Frost has a decent 13-2-1 record. But although Frost has 13 wins, he hasn’t lived up to his Iceman moniker because only 4 of the 13 wins have come before the final bell.

Hassan Hamdan is just 5-0 with a single TKO win. Hamdan, though, has great boxing skills. Frost has a shot, but the favorite stays out of trouble. Hamdan wins via decision. 

Boxing Pick: Hassan Hamdan | Bet Justin Frost vs. Hassan Hamdan Today

Sam Goodman vs. Ra’eese Aleem

Boxing Odds: Sam Goodman +115  vs. Ra’eese Aleem -161
Gold Coast Convention Centre, Australia | Sunday, June 18, 2023
Super Bantamweight Bout

It’s tempting to back Sam Goodman because he’s got a great 14-0 record. Not only that, but Goodman has beaten 50% of his opponents via stoppage.

Raeese Aleem has a 20-0 record. The favorite in this has fought great in his last 3. Not only did Aleem win his last 3, but he beat tough opponents: Vic Pasillas, Eduardo Baez, and Mike Plania. The favorite gets it done.

Boxing Pick: Ra’eese Aleem | Bet Sam Goodman vs. Ra’eese Aleem Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

Carlos Ocampo vs. Tim Tszyu

Boxing Odds: Carlos Ocampo +589 vs. Tim Tszyu -1428
WBO Interim Jr. Middleweight Title
Gold Coast Convention Centre, Australia | Sunday, June 18, 2023
Middleweight Bout

Ocampo has a terrific 35-2 record with 23 stoppage wins. Errol Spence Jr. beat Ocampo in 2018. Then this past October, Sebastian Fundora added the second loss via unanimous decision.

Tim Tszyu is undefeated with a 22-0 record. Tszyu fights like his father, Kostya Tszyu, which means Tim is in your face throughout the entire bout.

Ocampo is good enough to beat Tszyu, but the favorite’s constant pressure should eventually wear down the underdog. Tszyu projects to end Ocampo’s night late in the fight.

Go over if you’re looking to play the round total. Grab a Tszyu to win via KO/TKO prop if you’re looking to boost your potential payout.

Joshua Franco vs. Kazuto Ioka

WBA Junior Bantamweight Title Fight
Boxing Odds: Joshua Franco -126 vs. Kazuto Ioka -108
Ota City General Gymnasium | Tokyo, Japan

Franco and Ioka run it back after their first fight ended in a majority draw. The first fight was one of the best brawls in 2022. Ioka and Franco have similar styles. They hang in their and bang.

So if you get a chance to watch this fight, for sure, check it out. It’s going to be great. Which boxer has the edge? The fight takes place in Tokyo, which means Ioka gets the nod. It’s not that Franco won’t fight well. It’s that Kazuto may do enough to persuade the Japanese judges for the win.

Boxing Pick: Kazuto Ioka | Bet Edgar Berlanga vs. Jason Quigley Today
MyBookie Betting Lines for the Bout

Edgar Berlanga vs. Jason Quigley

Boxing Odds: Edgar Berlanga -1428 vs. Jason Quigley +601
Madison Square Garden | New York City, New York

Berlanga should win this bout, but whether Edgar knocks out Quigley is another matter. Quigley has a terrific 20-2 record. Jason suffered both losses via stoppage before the final round.

Ah, but the round total in Berlanga versus Quigley on Saturday is 4.5. Edgar Berlanga started his career going 16-0 with 16 stoppage victories. Since then, Berlanga has gone the distance in 4 straight.

Edgar knows that if he wants to compete against guys like Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez in the super middleweight division, he must develop a bottom. Doing so means taking some punishment to develop a chin and putting in more than 5 rounds per fight. This goes over the total.

Boxing Pick: Over 4.5 | Bet Edgar Berlanga vs. Jason Quigley Today

Fernando Martinez vs. Jade Bornea

IBF Junior Bantamweight Title
Boxing Odds: Fernando Martinez -476 vs. Jade Bornea +296
The Armory | Minneapolis, Minnesota

Martinez has a non-stop motor. In his last couple of bouts, Fernando beat Jerwin Ancajas, arguably one of the top Filipino boxers on the planet.

Ancajas, though, is a veteran whose boxing skills may have deteriorated. On Saturday night, Martinez must get by Jade Bornea.

Jade has skills that could lead to a win in this fight. He’s tall, has a reach advantage in this, and knows how to use his jab. Ancajas had trouble keeping Martinez at the end of his jab. Bornea won’t. 

Boxing Pick: Jade Bornea | Bet Fernando Martinez vs. Jade Bornea Today

Erickson Lubin vs. Luis Arias

Boxing Odds: Erickson Lubin -1250 vs. Luis Arias +533
The Armory | Minneapolis, Minnesota

Erickson Lubin should be the chalk in this, but Lubin lost his last fight. Granted it was versus Sebastian Fundora and it happened in the ninth round via a referee technical decision.

Arias isn’t on Fundora’s level. He’s not even on Lubin’s level. But Arias is a banger who has never lost a bout via stoppage.

So although Lubin should win, Erickson offers underlay odds to do so. Backing the dog makes sense. Taking a shot on the dog makes sense. 

Boxing Pick: Luis Arias | Bet Erickson Lubin vs. Luis Arias Today

Carlos Adames vs. Julian Williams | Carlos Adames Takes on Julian Williams for the WBC Interim Middleweight Title

WBC Interim Middleweight Title
Boxing Odds: Carlos Adames -666 vs. Julian Williams +374
The Armory | Minneapolis, Minnesota

22-1 Carlos Adames finally get his title shot. Don’t expect the favorite top disappoint.

For sure, Julian Williams is a good boxer. But Williams is 33-years-old and heads into this after a win against 18-11-1 Rolando Mansilla.

Before beating Mansilla, Williams had lost 2 straight. Adames’ last loss came in 2019. Carlos has knocked out 17 of his opponents. So if you want a better payout, look for a TKO/KO prop.

This weekend’s most intriguing boxing match is Logan Paul versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. But although most will pay attention to that bout, a better match figures to be on the undercard.

Check out an analysis and free pick for that fight as well as picks for five other boxing matches on June 5 along with their Boxing odds. 

Boxing Events in MyBookie: Hurd Vs Arias On Paul Against Mayweather Undercard

Top Boxing Events in MyBookie.AG

When: Saturday, June 5 – Sunday, June 6

Saturday, June 5th Bouts

Kamel Kouaouch +900 / Roman Fress -2000

Kouaouch is an undefeated Belgium fighter. The record is sparkling at 11-0. But before getting excited about Kouaouch’s chances on Saturday, notice he’s never knocked out an opponent. The guess here is that Belgium’s boxing gyms aren’t up to the standard of Germany’s, which is where Roman Fress is from. Then again, neither one of these fighters has ever fought outside of their home country. So, we really don’t know how good Fress is. -2000 is a lot to ask to lay on a fighter who may have as much of a juiced up record as his opponent’s. 

Boxing Pick: Kamel Kouaouch

Agit Kabayel -2000 / Kevin Johnson +900 

Kabayel is 20-0 with 13 knockouts. Opponent Kevin Johnson is 35-17-1. Johnson is 41-years-old and should have no shot. But look at that? KJ knocked out his last opponent, Yan Pablo Hernandez. Hernandez was 29-0 at the time Johnson beat him. Kabayel should win, no doubt, but Johnson’s worth backing at the odds. 

Boxing Pick: Kevin Johnson  

Archie Sharp -2000 / Marcio Soza +900

Sharp is undefeated. He’s got a nice 19-0 record. Sharp has won 9 of his fights via KO or TKO, which means he doesn’t always look for the decision. Marcio Soza is 21-6-2 with 12 knockouts. Soza has primarily fought in his native Nicaragua. Soza has some skills, but Sharp should pick him apart. Look for a prop bet before laying the -2000 for $100 profit.  

Boxing Pick: Archie Sharp 

Iliyan Markov +1300 / Nathan Heaney -5000

 Heaney’s nickname is “Hitman” but from 11 victories, he’s got just 3 knockout wins. Markov is 6-14-2. Markov has lost 3 fights via KO or TKO, which shows he’s got a good chin. But the underdog hasn’t fought in over a year. So, yes, even though Heaney doesn’t have a ton of power, he could win this one via knockout.  

Boxing Pick: Nathan Heaney 

Bogdan Dinu +950 / Daniel Dubois -2500

Romanian fighter Bogdan Dinu is 20-2 with 16 knockouts. One of Dinu’s losses happened against tough brawler Kubrat Pulev. Pulev lost to Anthony Joshua in his last fight. So Dinu has fought at least one quality opponent. 

Daniel Dubois is supposed to be the next great British heavyweight. Joe Joyce put those dreams on hold by knocking Dubois out in the tenth in Dubois’ last match. Who knows if Dubois has recovered from the loss? Dinu has some skills. He moves excellently for a big man, which means he’s worth a look at the extravagant underdog odds.  

Boxing Pick: Bogdan Dinu 

Sunday, June 6th Bouts

Jarrett Hurd -1200 / Luis Arias +650

On Sunday, super welterweight Jarrett Hurd attempts to take another step back into the upper echelon of the division. Julian Williams upset Hurd in 2019. Hurd bounced back in 2020 with a win against Francisco Santana. A win over Arias could set him up for a championship elimination bout. 

Hurd’s victory wasn’t overly impressive. But Jarrett has a big advantage over his opponent. At one time, Arias was a contender. He’s lost 2-of-3 and drawn in the third. Hurd is taller, has the longer reach, and should have no trouble measuring Arias with his jab. 

Jarrett has power, 16 knockouts in 24 wins. So consider backing Hurd on a couple of round props. Eighth round or ninth round knockout look like solid plays. 

Boxing Pick: Jarrett Hurd KO or TKO in Round 8 or Round 9.
