Boxing Predictions:
Betting Analysis – Sarah Mahfoud vs. Nina Meinke
Sarah Mahfoud is a household name in both Denmark and in her native Faroe Islands, a self-governing and geographically remote island chain located in the North Atlantic, where she was born.
She has fast hands and quick feet and possesses an enormous amount of willpower.
Her opponent Nina Meinke on April 21 is the mandatory challenger and accordingly ranked number 1 by IBF.
She recently relinquished her title as the official European Champion to fight for the world championship instead.
The German southpaw hasn’t lost a fight in 4 years.
This fight is going to be a banger but our pick is on Sarah Mahfoud.
Betting Analysis – Enock Poulsen vs. Franck Petitjean
Poulsen, a fast-handed and technical savvy fighter, has repeatedly been pegged in the Danish media as the best talent since Mikkel Kessler due to his impressive skills and speed.
His opponent Petitjean is, however, a tough nut to crack as a former EU champion and three times French champion.
The French southpaw has only lost one fight since 2014, and he has experience from eight title bouts, of which he won 7.
Poulsen is our betting pick for this match, as we expect him to be able to handle the Frenchman and showcase his skillset.
Betting Analysis – Masataka Taniguchi vs. Kai Ishizawa
Taniguchi (15-3, 10 KO), nearly three years removed from an unsuccessful title shot against Vic Saludar, overpowered Wilfredo “Bimbito” Mendez for that same belt last December.
The stoppage was his third in a row, and he now sits at 7-1 since narrowly falling to Tsubasa Koura in 2017.
The 25-year-old Ishizawa (10-1, 9 KO) dropped an eight-round decision to Taniguchi in 2019, since which he’s won four straight.
The biggest of those came just last month when he knocked out Katsuki Mori to claim the Japanese minimumweight title previously held by Taniguchi.
In this rematch fight, we expect Taniguchi to get his hand raised once more.
Betting Analysis – John Riel Casimero vs. Paul Butler
Casimero, a former world champion at 108 and 112 pounds and The Ring’s No. 2 bantamweight, has held the WBO championship since stopping Zolani Tete in the third round in November 2019.
He is coming off a lackluster 12-round split decision victory in Carson, California over long-reigning former lineal junior featherweight champion and current bantamweight contender Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Paul Butler is a professional boxer from England who held the IBF bantamweight title in 2014 and competed for the IBF super-flyweight belt in 2015.
He also held several regional titles, including the British and Commonwealth super-flyweight titles, which he won in 2012 and 2013.
Since losing a unanimous decision to Emmanuel Rodriguez in a match for the vacant IBF 118-pound title, Butler has won seven straight fights.
Four of those fights, though, were six-rounders against weaker opponents.
In this fight, our pick is on Casimero.
