This year has been painfully slow as far as boxing goes, but Thursdays DAZN card is clearly the best card put forth this year by any network. 3 world title fights, as well as prospect Anthony sims and Amanda serrono.
Demetrius Andrade-Luke keeler
I have great resentment for andrade both as a fighter and a person. That could be playing into this, but I think everybody is gonna be surprised or even shocked by keelers performance. I watched his last fight, n was somewhat impressed by him. He has deceptive power, is incredibly scrappy, n can take a shot. Regardless of my disdain for andrade, he may be the most overrated fighter in boxing right now. His best win is still a split decision against vanes martirosyan. I'm not quite tabbing keeler for the upset, but 70 to 1 odds are ridiculous. I do expect keeler to give him as much as he can handle, especially early. Andrade 115-113 in a surprisingly entertaining fight.
Farmer-Diaz
I don't consider either elite fighters, but they are good enough to be world titlist. This is a 50/50 fight. I didn't see it, but apparently jojo Diaz struggled with a crafty boxer in his last fight. Farmer has improved immensely over the last several years and has notched some impressive performances, while I think Diaz is a bit overrated. Farmer by split decision based off the difference in skill(mainly speed).
Roman-MJ
I think Roman is being underrated by the oddsmakers who have him as a clear underdog. MJ has done literally nothing as a pro, and Roman IS the unified champ. I don't like the way MJ fought in his last fight, with his hands low n seemed to lack focus at times, and wasn't driven to get a limited fighter outta there. MJ is gifted n clearly more talented, but Roman's experience in world class fights is something MJ lacks. If MJ boxes n moves I think he will have an easier time and win clearly, but something tells me he will stand and trade more often than not. I'll take MJ by split decision, in a fight that could go either way.
Another awesome fight on the card is Anthony sims first real test against hard hitting roemer angulo. I think sims is a legitimate prospect, but I don't see his first step up being an easy victory.
Amanda serrano has also been added to the card, although it's a guaranteed stoppage within 3.
As with most, I could care less about the youtubers fight.
Justin after reading this post, I’m glad you gave a breakdown on the fights. I will be there live in Miami since we haven’t had a great card like this in a long time.
I am also thinking about putting a parlay on Diaz,MJ and Paul I know I know f the YouTube kids but it’s easy pick for that one. MJ fight has me worried the most because I think Roman will be too experience for him but there’s a reason he’s favorite. Diaz I believe will beat Farmer since farmer hasn’t been tested since he signed with DAZN and look for Diaz to outwork him or get clowned for 12 rounds by farmer who is a superior fighter
This is definitely farmers toughest fight since he's been a champion. I just don't see anything special about diaz as a fighter. That's a risky parlay, but one that would surely pay out well. Even dropping just a few bucks on keeler wouldn't be a bad idea and I would surely do so if I was a betting man, 70 to 1 is just absurd for ANY title fight.
It's finally a card i'll get to see live (from my tv screen) as we work Sun-Thurs over here in the middle east so it's a real killer for my boxing! I can't wait for it :D
Wouldnt call this an amazing card, because could absolutely care less about the "headline" fight, but its a damn good card for a Thursday night and I hope more networks do events like this instead of all going against each other on Saturdays.
