Now, let’s find out who’s in action and what are the Vegas Odds Boxing tonight.

Trio of Title Fights Highlights Top Boxing Picks of the Week – May 27th Edition

Taylor vs. Persoon

10 rounds
WBA/WBO/IBF/WBC women’s lightweight unification
When: June 1st

Ireland native Katie Taylor is 32-years-old and stands 5’5” with a 65-inch reach. Taylor comes into this bout off a stunning ninth round KO win over Rose Volante in March. Belgium native Delfine Persoon is 34-years-old and she’s won an amazing 34 consecutive fights dating back to 2010 including a seventh round retirement win over Melissa St. Vil in March.

Callum Smith vs. N’Dam

12 rounds
Smith’s WBA super middleweight title
When: June 1st

Englishman Callum Smith is 29-years-old and stands 6’3” with a 78-inch reach. The reigning champ won the WBA super-middleweight title by stopping George Groves via seventh round KO in September following a pair of unanimous decision wins in his previous two bouts. Cameroon native Hassan N’Dam is 35-years-old and stands 5’11” with a 74-inch reach. The challenger comes into this bout off a majority decision win over Martin Murray in December after losing his previous bout via seventh round retirement against Ryota Murata in October of 2017.

Prediction

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Callum Smith is the younger, bigger and stronger fighter in this championship pairing. Not only that, but Smith has never been beaten and that alone tells me that unless he faces another elite fighter, he’s almost certainly going to win. I’m going with Callum Smith to retain his title via seventh round KO no less.

Pick: Callum Smith Via Seventh Round KO

Joshua vs. Ruiz Jr.

12 rounds
Joshua’s IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight title
Opening Boxing Lines: Ruiz +1120 / Joshua -2080
When: June 1st

29-year-old Californian Andy Ruiz stands 6’2” with a 74-inch reach. He’s won three straight fights including his fifth round stoppage (retirement) win against Alexander Dimitrenko in April. Ruiz Jr believe he can pull off the huge upset over the reigning champ.

“This is my chance to make history,” said Ruiz Jr. “I want to be one of those greats like Julio Cesar Chavez, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis. I want to be in that category.

29-year-old British native Anthony Joshua stands 6’6” with an 82-inch reach as he gets set to make his U.S. debut in this bout. The three belt title holder comes into this bout off an emphatic seventh round TKO win over Alexander Povetkin in September. The win came after Joshua failed to record a knockout for this first time in his career in his previous bout against Joseph Parler in March of 2018.

“Ruiz Jr is a different kind of challenge but one I embrace,” said Joshua. “We have worked in the boxing gym week on week and whoever is put in front of me at Madison Square Garden on June 1 will be dispatched in style. The rent will be collected.”

Prediction

Andy Ruiz is a really good fighter, but he’s not in the same class of elite heavyweights that Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are in. Joshua is the bigger, stronger fighter in this pairing, plus he’s got the much longer reach and a ton of motivation to not lose his belts in what would be a major upset. Keep it simple and back Anthony Joshua to get the win – via eighth round KO.

Pick: Anthony Joshua Via 8th Round KO

Previous Betting News

Okay fight fans and boxing odds Vegas aficionados, while this coming week’s slate of pugilistic action is going to be a bit hard-pressed to reproduce the ‘super exciting’ one-punch knockout finish we saw from Deontay Wilder on Saturday night, you’re still going to have a pair of great chances to cash in with a potentially winning wager when two title fights go down from polar opposite ends of the earth.

Top Boxing Betting Picks of the Week – May 20th Edition

Wanheng Menayothin vs. Tatsuya Fukuhara, Rematch, 12 rounds, for Menayothin’s WBC Strawweight title

When: May 24: Chonburi, Thailand

WBC strawweight champion, Wanheng Menayothin (52-0, 18 KOs) will put his belt on the line in an intriguing rematch against Japan’s Tatsuya Fukuhara (21-6-6, 7 KOs).

The 33-year-old Menayothin stands 5’2” with a beat Fukuhara via unanimous decision back in November of 2017 and he’s won three straight since then including a six round unanimous decision win over Mektison Marganti in November.

The 30-year-old Fukuhara stand 5’4” with a 63-inch reach. The challenger has won two straight since his loss to Menayothin including his unanimous decision win over Naoya Haruguchi in July.

Prediction

Wanheng Menayothin is unbeaten in a whopping 52 career fights and should probably be getting some serious recognition for his achievement. Whether he gets that recognition or not, Menayothin is the easy pick to get the win in this bout seeing as how Tatsuya Fukuhara has lost two of his last four fights and just possess the tools – or punching power – necessary to beat an experienced champion that is better in every facet of the game. This one will go down as another unanimous decision win for the reigning champ.

Boxing Betting Pick: Wanheng Menayothin Via Unanimous Decision

Masayuki Ito vs. Jamel Herring, 12 rounds, for Ito’s WBO junior lightweight title

When: May 25 Kissimmee, Fla. (ESPN/ESPN Deportes)
Where: Kissimmee Civic Center, Kissimmee, FL

Masayuki Ito (25-1-1, 13 KOs) is 28-years-old and stands 5’8½ inches. He’s won nine straight fights coming into this title bout including a stunning seventh round knockout win over Evgeny Chuprakov in December. Former U.S. Olympian Jamel Herring (19-2, 10 KOs) is 33-years-old and stands 5’10” with a 70-inch reach. Herring has won three straight fights including a unanimous decision win over Adelison Dos Santos in December.

Prediction

I like Jamel Herring, but I’ll be honest and admit that while he’s a good fighter, he’s not great by any stretch of the imagination and I fully believe he’s reached the peak of his abilities while Masayuki Ito is still in the midst of his prime. The reigning champ is the better technical fighter and while he doesn’t have the power punching edge in this affair, I am expecting Ito to out-box and out-class Jamel Herring in this title bout. I’m going with Masayuki Ito to get the win via unanimous decision.

Boxing Betting Pick: Masayuki Ito Via Unanimous Decision.

Previous Betting News

The world of boxing tends to blow a little hot and cold, as we go few short periods where there are no big fights on tap followed by a flurry of activity where there are a lot of big bouts on the horizon. That is where we are at this week, as the coming weekend has several big fights primed and ready to go.

The beauty here is that the locations of these fights mean that we can essentially watch them all without any crossover. We have fights in Glasgow, Scotland and others in New York City highlighting the action, so let’s jump right into the boxing fight odds tonight.

Top Boxing Betting Picks of the Week – May 13th Edition

Ivan Baranchyk vs Josh Taylor

Boxing Odds: Baranchyk +460 / Taylor -620

We get the ball rolling with an IBF Junior Welterweight Title bout on Saturday night in Glasgow. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Josh Taylor is sure to have the crowd on his side for this one as he looks to extend his career mark to 15 fights unbeaten.

This will be the 3rd straight fight that Taylor has had at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, so he should certainly be comfortable there. He is up against a tough opponent in Ivan Baranchyk, as the Russian is coming into this one with a perfect 19-0 professional record. At the end of the day, though, the hometown boy should come good.

Naoya Inoue vs Emmanuel Rodriguez

Boxing Odds: Inoue -870 / Rodriguez +620

This is the headline event on the Glasgow card, with this one being for the IBF WBA World Bantamweight Title. Inoue is in as a massive favorite for this one, which is not really much of a surprise given that he has closed out each of his last two title fights in the opening round. He has won 15 of his 17 professional bouts by KO.

Rodriguez won the vacant IBF title versus Paul Butler, and then defended it in a split decision win in his last fight. I don’t see a decision needed here, as Inoue should get this done quickly.

Deontay Wilder vs Dominic Breazeale

Boxing Odds: Wilder -835 / Breazeale +585

The big boys are up next, with the battle for the WBC World Heavyweight Title the highlight of the main card in Brooklyn on Saturday night. Deontay Wilder won this title back in 2015, successfully defending it 8 times since then.

The closest he came to losing it was in his last defense when he fought to a draw with Tyson Fury. You have a feeling that we are looking at a rematch there, as this one looks like a filler against a much lesser opponent. Wilder gets this one done quickly.

Kiko Martinez vs Gary Russell Jr.

Boxing Odds: TBA

We move to Brooklyn on Saturday night for the next two fights in our preview, starting out with this one, a 12-round bout for the WBC World Featherweight Title. This will be the 3rd defense of the title for Russell Jr., who won the belt with a KO of Patrick Hyland back in 2016.

His first defense was an easy win, but he was made to go the distance in his last defense versus Joseph Diaz. It has been a year since Martinez last fought, winning the EBU European Featherweight Title. I like Russell Jr. to win this one early.

Previous Betting News

This Saturday, three of the best known boxers in the sport step into the ring. Erislandy Lara goes against Thomas Lamanna, Dimitry Bivol takes on Craig Richards, and Andy Ruiz Jr. returns to action against Chris Arreola. Check out analysis, Vegas Boxing odds, and free boxing picks for those three fights as well as five other great May 1 matches.

Boxing Events in MyBookie: Huge Boxing Matches on Saturday Night

Saturday, May 1st Fights

Natasha Jonas +420 / Katie Taylor -570

Most believe this is too much too soon for 9-1-1 Natasha Jonas. The UK boxer has knocked out 7 of her opponents, though. Katie Taylor is 17-0 with 6 knockout wins. These two fought at the 2012 Olympics. The fight happened way too long ago to mean anything. Jonas has a tight defense, which could get her into some trouble in this. Taylor likes to box with her jab forward. The chalk looks tough.

Boxing Pick: Katie Taylor

Craig Richards +1500 / Dimitry Bivol -5000

Now 17-0 with 11 knockout wins, light heavyweight champ Dimitry Bivol is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Bivol has all the tools, a jab, a right, left hook. He can fight inside or outside. Craig Richards has a nice 16-1-1 record. He fights with abandon. In some ways, that’s a good thing. Against Bivol, it will lead to disaster. Wait for round odds, and then choose the one where you think Dimitry disposes of his opponent. We like the fifth and the sixth.

Boxing Pick: Bivol wins in Round 5 or Round 6

Joseph Parker -180 / Dereck Chisora +150

Two veterans step into the ring when Dereck Chisora takes on Joseph Parker. Derek “War” Chisora is 32-10 with 23 knockouts. Now 37, Chisora is an old school, throw down, fighter. He’s not afraid of anything, including getting knocked out. 27-2 Joseph Parker has knocked out 21 of his opponents. Parker hasn’t lost since 2018. Chisora could get lucky and land a good punch. More than likely? Parker wins this with few, if any, issues.

Boxing Pick: Joseph Parker

Javier Molina +500 / Jesus Alejandro Ramos -1000

22-3 Javier Molina is a decent boxer. With only 9 knockouts, he doesn’t have a ton of power, though. Jesus Alejandro Ramos is 15-0 with 14 knockouts. JAR’s power should be the difference in this. Wait for round odds and play a couple. The sixth and seventh look best.

Boxing Pick: Jesus Alejandro Ramos wins Round 6 or Round 7

Abel Ramos -160/ Omar Figueroa Jr. +130

Ramos versus Figueroa may be the most competitive match of the night. Omar Figueroa Jr. is 28-1-1 with 19 knockouts. Yordenis Ugas beat Figueroa in his last fight. Abel Ramos is 26-4-2 with 20 knockouts. Ugas also beat Ramos in Abel’s last fight. Figueroa has a shot but Ramos lost to Ugas via split-decision. He should do just enough for a decision victory on May 1.

Boxing Pick: Abel Ramos

Jorge Cota +500 / Sebastian Fundora -1000

Sebastian Fundora has won 11 of his 16 bouts via knockout or technical knockout. The super welterweight is 6’ 5 ½” and has an 80” reach. Jorge Cota is at a serious disadvantage in terms of length. But Cota has fought some of the toughest guys in the world including Jermell Charlo and Jeison Rosario. Fundora should win this fight. Cota is the best fighter Fundora has faced. The underdog may be savvy enough to pull off the stunning win.

Boxing Pick: Jorge Cota

Thomas Lamanna +1205 / Erislandy Lara -2365

Thomas Lamanna is a tough guy but he’s up against it versus Erislandy Lara. The former champion is 23-3-3 with 15 knockouts. He’ll use everything in his arsenal to beat Lamanna in what should be an entertaining, albeit one-sided, fight. Lamanna has gotten knocked out twice. So if you want to back a couple of rounds, go for it. To be honest, though, Lara could decide to stretch this one out and win via decision.

Boxing Pick: Erislandy Lara

Chris Arreola +1210 / Andy Ruiz Jr. -2380

Chris Arreola hasn’t fought since 2019. When he enters the ring, he may hold more spare tires around his midsection than Andy Ruiz Jr. That’s saying something. In any case, Ruiz Jr. wins this by knockout. So think about the round Ruiz ends the fight. This shouldn’t last long. Third round or fourth round most likely.

Boxing Pick: Andy Ruiz Jr. wins in Round 3 or Round 4

Previous Betting News

Okay boxing betting fan, while this coming week’s trio of championship title fights might not be getting the same international recognition that this past weekend’s middleweight title fight between Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs did, make no mistake about it, you’re going to have three great chances to cash in on a trio of title fights that all have the look of thrilling affairs just waiting to happen. Now, let’s find out who’s in action and where the best betting value lies in all three title fights.

Top Boxing Betting Picks of the Week – May 6th Edition

Miguel Berchelt (35-1, 31 KOs) vs. Francisco Vargas (25-1-2, 13 KOs)

When: May 11, 2019
Where: Convention Center in Tucson, Arizona
TV: ESPN

Reigning WBC super featherweight champ Miguel Berchelt is 27-years-old and stands 5’7” with a 71-inch reach. The champ will be looking to pull off his fifth straight title defense since beating Francisco Vargas back in January of 2017 for the title. Berchelt stopped Miguel ‘Mickey’ Roman via a stunning ninth round TKO in November with the win marking his third straight TKO finish after he stopped Jonathan Victor and Maxwell Awuku in the third round in each of his two previous fights.

Challenger Francisco Vargas is 34-years-old and stands 5’8” with a 70-inch reach. Vargas won the WBC super featherweight title by stopping Takashi Miura back in November of 2015 before making one successful title defense the following June against Orlando Salido and then losing his belt to Berchelt in January of 2017 on an 11th round KO. Since then, Vargas has won two straight and comes into this one off a sixth round retirement from Rod Salka in April of 2018.

Prediction

Fernando Vargas is an excellent world class fighter that has only suffered one loss in his career, but he’s facing another clearly gifted pugilist that is seven years younger and has far more punching power. I’m not expecting Vargas to get knocked out like he did the last time he faced Miguel Berchelt, but he is going down nevertheless, this time by unanimous decision.

Boxing Betting Pick: Miguel Berchelt Via Unanimous Decision

Emanuel Navarrete (26-1, 22 KOs) vs. Isaac Dogboe (20-1, 14 KOs)

When: May 11, 2019
Where: Convention Center in Tucson, Arizona
TV: ESPN

Former WBO super bantamweight champ Isaac Dogboe is 24-years-old and stands 5’2” with a 66-inch reach. The native of Ghana suffered his only loss as a professional by dropping a huge unanimous decision upset defeat against Emmanuel Navarrete in December.

Emmanuel Navarrete is also 24-years-old and he stands 5’7” with a 72-inch reach. Since losing the sixth fight of his professional career, Navarrete has won an impressive 21 straight fights. More importantly, the new champ recorded eight straight stoppage finishes before upsetting Dogboe for the belt the last time he took to the ring.

Prediction

For this championship title fight, I;m going to urge you to back Emmanuel Navarrete to get the big win for a handful of solid reasons. First, the reigning champ is the bigger fighter with the longer reach. Next, he’s got far more punching power than Isaac Dogboe and last but not least, he’s got the slight edge in ring experience with 27 career fights to Dogboe’s 21 career bouts. This fight won’t end in a stoppage simply because these are two elite fighters I expect to be at their very best. However, I’m going with the reigning champ to retain his belt via unanimous decision.

Boxing Betting Pick: Emmanuel Navarrete Via Unanimous Decision

Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) vs. Julian Williams (26-1-1, 16 KOs)

When: May 11, 2019
Where: EagleBank Arena, Farifax , VA
TV: Fox/Fox Deportes

Julian ‘J Rock’ Williams is 29-years-old and stands 5’11” with a 73-inch reach. The Philadelphia native has won four straight fights since failing in his bid to win the IBF middleweight title against Jermall Charlo in October of 2016. Williams comes into this affair off a stellar second round KO win over Francisco Javier Castro in December. Williams has recorded six knockouts in his last eight fights and says he’s fully prepared to throwing everything he has at the reigning champ this coming weekend.

“I bring multiple different things to the table that nobody has been able to show Jarrett Hurd, along with the things that gave him problems with other fighters that he’s fought in the last two or three years,” Williams said.

“Swift” Jarrett Hurd is 28-years-old and stands 5’11” with a 78-inch reach. The Maryland native is unbeaten in his career and comes into this bout off a stunning fourth round KO win over Jason Welborn in December that was his third straight title defense after he took the vacant belt by beating Tony Harrison via ninth round TKO in February of 2017. Now, Hurd will get to show off his skills in front of a ‘home’ crowd.

“I couldn’t be happier to be fighting at home for the first time as a champion,” said Hurd. “My hometown has been asking me to bring the championship back home and now I can. Julian Williams is a tough opponent and I don’t see him as a stepping stone. He’s crafty, technical and fundamentally sound. I want to go out and get a decisive win and show that I’m on a different level than everybody else in the division.”

Prediction

I know Julian Williams hails from my hometown of Philadelphia and that alone means he’s going to throw everything he as Jarrett Hurd except the kitchen sink,but for me, Jarrett Hurd is the slightly better fighter, not to mention he’s got the more impressive list of opponents with none likely being better than Tony Harrison, the reigning WBC light middleweight title holder. While I’m not prepared to predict a knockout by Jarrett Hurd, I do like the champ to retain his title in a straight-up brawl that produces a unanimous decision win for Hurd. No one has beaten Jarrett Hurd so far and I don’t see it happening in this affair either.

Boxing Betting Pick: Jarrett Hurd Via Unanimous Decision

Previous Betting News

Mixed martial arts has overtaken boxing in terms of popularity in the USA and betting action at Mybookie.ag. That said, this coming weekend is one of the best of the year in the sweet science with a handful of title fights around the world. Here’s a look at the latest Boxing Betting Odds and picks for the upcoming days.

Expert Boxing Betting Picks of the Week – May 28th

Jeff Horn vs. Terence Crawford

Boxing Betting Odds: Horn +665 / Crawford -930

This is the biggest bout of the weekend and is streamed on ESPN+ from Las Vegas. Crawford is ranked as the No. 3 pound-for-pound fighter in the world by Ring Magazine and is the -930 Mybookie.ag favorite even though Horn is the WBO welterweight champion and puts his title on the line.

Horn (18-0-1, 12 KOs), of Australia, is due to make his second title defense against former undisputed junior welterweight world champion Crawford (32-0, 23 KOs), an American, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. After dominating the junior welterweight division, Crawford now has his sights set on Horn’s 147-pound belt in a fight that will air exclusively on that new ESPN+ subscription service. These two were set to fight in April but Crawford suffered an injury while training.

Horn wasn’t a big name worldwide until he scored a stunning unanimous points decision over Manny Pacquiao last July. That was a controversial decision perhaps helped by the fact that Horn fought in front of some 51,000 at Suncorp Stadium in his hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Horn defended the belt with an 11th-round knockout of Gary Corcoran on Dec. 13. This will be Horn’s first fight in the USA.

There’s a reason that Crawford is such a heavy favorite. The 30-year-old Crawford became the undisputed 140-pound champion last August when he unified the division’s four major belts by knocking out Julius Indongo in the third round. He then vacated the titles in order to move up to 147 pounds to take on Horn as his mandatory challenger.

Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares

Boxing Betting Odds: TBA

From Los Angeles and on Showtime, there are two title fights. Leo Santa Cruz takes on Abner Mares for Santa Cruz’s WBA super featherweight title. In addition, Jermell Charlo faces Austin Trout for Charlo’s WBC junior middleweight title.

It’s a rematch between Santa Cruz and Mares. On Aug. 29, 2015, at Staples Center in L.A., Santa Cruz won a vacant featherweight world title by majority decision — 117-111, 117-111 and 114-114 — over fellow Mexico native Mares in an action-packed fight. The two agreed to a rematch almost right away but it kept being delayed for one reason or another.

He and Mares fought on the same card last October and both won, finally setting up the sequel. Santa Cruz (34-1-1, 19 KOs), who also has won world titles at bantamweight and junior featherweight, will be making the second defense of his second featherweight title reign. Mares (31-2-1, 15 KOs), who has also won world titles at bantamweight and junior featherweight, has fought just twice since the first bout with Santa Cruz.

Meanwhile, Charlo (30-0, 15 KOs) will be making his third title defense when he meets Trout (31-4, 17 KOs). Trout is familiar to the Charlo family. Jermell’s twin brother, Jermall, won a unanimous decision over Trout in May 2016 to retain his version of the junior middleweight title, though he has since moved up in weight.

Jermell Charlo has eyes on a possible unification fight with Jarrett Hurd in the fall but Trout could scuttle those plans. Trout already has one upset on his resume: outpointing Miguel Cotto in 2012.

Terry Flanagan vs. Maurice Hooker

Boxing Betting Odds: TBA

This card is from Manchester, England. It’s actually headlined by former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury finally returning to the ring against Sefer Seferi. Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) has not boxed since he outpointed Wladimir Klitschko in a huge upset to claim three world title belts and the lineal crown on Nov. 28, 2015, in Germany.

They were supposed to have a rematch, but Fury pulled out a few times and has had problems with drugs, alcohol and mental health issues. He has been stripped of all his belts.

The 39-year-old Seferi (23-1, 21 KOs) has a nice record but is basically a tomato can. Seferi, who has won his last two bouts, has faced mostly sub-.500 opposition since losing a wide 10-round unanimous decision in September 2016 to Manuel Charr, the only notable opponent of his career.

Meanwhile, Terry Flanagan faces Maurice Hooker for the vacant WBO junior welterweight title. Flanagan (33-0, 13 KOs), of England, and Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KOs) were originally supposed to fight on April 14 in London on the undercard of middleweight world titleholder Billy Joe Saunders’ defense against Martin Murray.

But when Saunders suffered a hand injury, the card was postponed. The WBO junior welterweight belt is vacant because Crawford relinquished all four of the major belts in the division last summer to move up in weight.

Expert Predictions

Crawford dominates Horn, Santa Cruz beats Mares again by decision, Charlo decisions Trout, and Flanagan decisions Hooker (Fury will win easily).
