We’ve got a big night of boxing coming up this Saturday headlined by Timothy Bradley and Brandon Rios, so make sure to head over to the sportsbook now to place your bets. Because boxing cards typically take some time to fill out, it can be hard to keep track of all the night’s fights. Let’s take a look at the confirmed matchups and their odds.
Please note: BookMaker updates their odds daily, so these money lines may have shifted after this article was written.
HEADLINER:
Timothy Bradley -525 vs. Brandon Rios +410
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is already calling this a surefire Fight of the Year candidate, and most boxing fans are inclined to agree. Bradley already has one FOTY under his belt, from a 2013 war with Ruslan Provodnikov. Brandon Rios’ style is similar to that of Provdnikov, meaning we could be in for another prolonged battle of attrition.
Rios has also been one of the funnest fighter to watch for years. He’s got a habit of turning fights into slugfests, and it’ll be intriguing to see if Bradley takes the bait.
CO-MAIN EVENT
Vasyl Lomachenko -1000 vs. Romulo Koasicha +3500
Lomachenko, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, claimed a world title in just his third pro fight. He’s one of the best amateur boxers ever, with an astounding 396-1 record. Now, he’ll be making his third title defense against a guy that nobody’s really heard of. This fight is a showcase match on HBO for Lomachenko, who is rightfully a massive favorite.
The one redeeming quality is that Koasicha is an aggressive fighter that comes forward at all costs, meaning Lomachenko will have the opportunity to show us if he’s got the power to become truly great.
UNDERCARD
MIKE REED vs. OSCAR CORTEZ
Undefeated light welterweight prospect Mike Reed will take a step up in competition to face Oscar Cortes, a 27-fight veteran from Mexico. Reed is a promising fighter with 9 KOs in 16 career victories, and he’ll be fighting to build a fanbase on HBO. He’s coming off a spectacular TKO win over Antonio Canas, where he showcased an impressive arsenal of punches to knock Canas to the canvas several times.
UNDERCARD
RYOTO MURATA vs. GUNNAR JACKSON
2012 Japanese Olympic gold medalist Ryoto Murata will make his U.S. debut against New Zealand’s Gunnar Jackson. Murata, a welterweight, is 7-0 with 5 KOs and posted a 119-18 record as an amateur. He hasn’t lost since 2011, when he met current middleweight prospect Ievegn Khrytov.
Jackson will be fighting for the first time outside of New Zealand, and it’s clear he’s being brought in as an easy opponent for Murota to show off against. Top Rank would love nothing better than for Murota to develop a fanbase in Asia’s lucrative market.
