Boxing betting odds: Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor, Callum Smith big favorites in New York
Hey, guess what? The 6’6″ guy who looks like The Heavyweight Champion is a massive favored contrary to the 6’2″ who looks like a house music salesman at Best Buy.
Anthony Joshua is between -1800 and -3300 against Andy Ruiz Jr, who’s recorded between +900 and +1400. Anyone who’s seen Ruiz fight can tell you he isn’t a bum they discovered on the street, he’s a legitimately skilled fighter. But this whole issue is poor optics to anyone, non-fan or die alike, and Ruiz has never beaten anyone around Joshua’s level. An angry here will rock the foundations of the branch.
Another two domain fights are not seen as particularly more aggressive.
168-pound titleholder Callum Smith is involving -3300 and -25000 from Hassan N’Dam, who is involving +950 and +2300. Look, I agree Smith is the clear favorite and it’d be a stunner when he N’Dam, but goddamn, -25000. That strikes Hassan in his heart, so I’m sure.
Anthony Joshua v Andy Ruiz Jr. – Weigh-in
Katie Taylor is between -1250 and -1800 to become the undisputed lightweight winner against Delfine Persoon, who is between +575 and +1075. Persoon gets the longer expert record, but Taylor’s time at the amateurs was spent fighting better resistance than Persoon has faced as an expert in Belgium. I expect books took a tub on installing Claressa Shields as only around a -350ish favorite against Christina Hammer in April, and they are looking to reveal they learned a lesson here.
The undercard fights are about as expected. Josh Kelly is between -476 and -650 because of his struggle with crafty vet Ray Robinson, who’s involving +310 and +501. Robinson might give Kelly some design problems, but asking him to actually win could be too much.
Joshua Buatsi, a rising light heavyweight, is involving -5005 and -12500 from Marco Antonio Periban, a veteran super middleweight who hasn’t fought in a couple years. Periban is involving +1200 and +2695.
The most evenly matched battle of this series is expected to function as 140-pound assembly between Chris Algieri and Tommy Coyle, and it can be the projected struggle of the night in terms of competitive action. Algieri is between -252 and -450, with Coyle involving +208 and +260.
FS1/FS2 (6:00 pm ET)
From the FS1 main event, Devon Alexander isn’t a huge favorite against Ivan Redkach despite having the greater r??sum?? by way and being a two-division titleholder. He’s the sound favorite, but not quite large. Alexander is between -303 and -455, with Redkach involving +225 and +342.
The co-feature will visit Hugo Centeno Jr and Willie Monroe Jr match in a 10-round middleweight bout. Monroe, a big-name name challenger, is the slight favorite, recorded between -158 and -189. Centeno is involving +127 and +154, so that one’s close to a toss up on the books.
Onoriode Ehwarieme does have odds listed, but the odds are for his initially scheduled struggle against Rodney Hernandez. He is really fighting Rodney Moore now. (Not you.)
On the FS2 prelims, Filipino featherweights Jhack Tepora and Marlon Tapales are huge favorites. Tepora is involving -4550 and -10000 against Jose Luis Gallegos (+1301 into +2450) and Tapales is involving, uh, -4550 ad -10000 against… hey wait a minute these are the exact same odds for both conflicts. I guess that makes sense, they are essentially the same fight. Also no offense but if you are gambling on FS2 prelim battles you might wanna call among them hotlines.
ESPN+ (3:00 pm ET)
In the primary event from Cardiff, Wales, Jay Harris is preferred between -450 and also -650 to beat Spain’s Angel Moreno and win the vacant European flyweight title. Moreno is involving +250 and +471.
Craig Evans conquer Stephen Ormond back just under a couple of decades before, along with also the oddsmakers like him to do it again. Evans is between -300 and -455, with Ormond between +210 and +348.
