Crawford Takes On Porter in the Weekend’s Top Match
Top Boxing Events
- When: Saturday, Nov. 20
Dan Azeez -160 vs Hosea Burton +130
Undefeated Dan Azeez looks like a soon-to-be light heavyweight title contender. He throws his jab off his base, which is the sign of a true professional. Also, he has power. Azeez has won 9-of-14 via TKO or KO.
26-2 Hosea Burton is a good boxer. But he doesn’t appear to have the power that Azeez has. Also, he’s overly aggressive and tends to get wild. The favorite offers more than fair odds to win this.
Boxing Pick: Dan Azeez
Olanrewaju Durodola +750 vs Richard Riakporhe -1500
38-6 with 33 knockout wins, this is Olanrewaju Durodola’s first fight outside of Africa. Durodola has power and power always gives an underdog a shot.
12-0 Richard Riakporhe is the much more skilled boxer, though. Riakporhe has knocked out 8 of his opponents. So like Durodola, he also has decent power. It’s tough to back the dog. If you see decent round odds for a TKO or KO victory, consider backing Riakporhe on a round option instead of on the moneyline.
Boxing Pick: Richard Riakporhe
Hassan N Jikam +1050 vs Janibek Alimkhanuly -2500
Alimkhanuly should dominate Jikam. Although the underdog has a decent record, 38-5, he’s lost 3 of his last 5 bouts.
The favorite is 10-0 with 6 knockout victories. Alimkhanuly has won 4 straight via TKO or KO. So look for a round option before dumping on the chalk on the moneyline.
Boxing Pick: Janibek Alimkhanuly
