Aadam Hamed vs. Georgi Velichkov betting preview
The future looks bright for Aadam Hamed who makes his first appearance under the Queensberry banner after signing with Frank Warren.
The weight of expectation will be felt on those confident young shoulders as he progresses up the levels. Bulgaria’s ‘Baby Face’ Velichkov can hardly be any more of a feeble foe than Hamed’s debut opponent, but Aadam is the favourite to grab a win by any means necessary.
Boxing News betting pick: Aadam Hamed to win fight @ 1/33 [bet365]
Royston Barney-Smith vs. Brian Barajas betting preview
Undefeated in 10, Barney-Smith is looking like a sharp box-puncher. Brian Barajas has never been stopped, but he’s never before ventured outside of Colombia. Barney-Smith will fancy an early night, picking up the vacant WBO Youth title along the way.
Boxing News betting pick: Royston Barney-Smith via KO, TKO or DQ @ 5/4 [bet365]
Ryan Garner vs. Archie Sharp betting preview
A battle of the unbeatens as 15-0 Garner takes on 25-0 Sharp. Both of these men could do with a career-boosting evening. Sharp looked vulnerable in his last outing. Garner has looked vulnerable on the scales in the past. Something has to give.
Boxing News betting pick: Ryan Garner to win fight @ 3/10 [bet365]
Dennis McCann vs. Ionut Baluta 2 betting preview
Dennis McCann’s first big career test ended in difficult circumstances as a cut forehead led to a draw with dangerman Baluta. The European title is on the line here as McCann looks to put that night behind him and move back along his chosen pathway.
Boxing News betting pick: Dennis McCann by decision or technical decision @ 4/7 [bet365]
Joe Joyce vs. Derek Chisora betting preview
Two heavyweights seeking to prove they still have something left in the tank. Chisora might come out swinging. Has he got more than three rounds buried deep in the trusty old tank? Joyce’s once dependable chin has shown signs of cracking lately. If Del comes out throwing bombs, Joyce could land one in between, and it will be lights out for the British veteran campaigner.
