Boxing Betting Lines: If you’re looking for the best advice for boxing betting, you’ve certainly come to the right place. Here at Bookmaker sportsbook we’re previewing the WBO lightweight title fight between Derry Mathews and Terry Flanagan on March 13th, 2016, at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.
Undefeated lightweight champion Terry Flanagan will put his championship belt on the line when he faces off against Derry Mathews on March 13th, 2016, at Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. The pair faced off earlier in their careers and Flanagan emerged victorious, so there seems little doubt he will enter this showdown as the favorite in boxing betting.
Terry Flanagan has a career mark of 29-0 with 12 wins by knockout. He picked up the British lightweight championship belt on July 26th, 2014, in the seventh round when Martin Gethin retired. Flanagan won the WBO European Lightweight title in February of 2015 when Stephen Ormond was disqualified in their bout. Flanagan then won his current WBO lightweight championship belt with a win over Jose Zepeda on July 11th, 2015. He successfully defended it for the first time in his most recent fight on October 10th, knocking off Diego Magdaleno by second-round technical knockout. The lack of overpowering punchout is a bit disconcerting in regards to Flanagan, but the undefeated record and current title belt certainly shows he will be a tough boxer to defeat in the ring. Flanagan faced off against Mathews for the first time back on October 6th, 2012. He picked up the victory via unanimous decision, which should give Flanagan confidence heading into this rematch. The first fight was only three rounds long.
Derry Mathews is 38-9-2 with 20 knockouts in his career, Mathews has won various lower-level championship belts but now gets a big chance at the WBO title. Mathews enters on a four-fight winning streak. He defeated Tony Luis by unanimous decision in his most recent bout on April 18th, 2015, to claim the vacant WBA lightweight title. Mathews’ last loss came to Stephen Ormond in late 2013.
Flanagan is the more established fighter and will certainly be the one to beat in this matchup, but Mathews has boxed well lately and will aim for the upset bid to claim the WBO lightweight belt. Both should have some familiarity with facing off against each other once before, although it was a number of years ago. They will take the information they learned from the bout and couple it with their more recent success to figure out game plans heading into this title fight in boxing betting.
