Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol

Light-heavyweight elites Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20KO) and Dmitry Bivol (23-1, 12KO) will lock horns for a second time this Saturday, February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, live on DAZN.

In their first encounter, four months ago, it was Beterbiev who edged an incredibly close contest to win 116-112, 115-113, 114-114 on the judges scorecards to become the first undisputed light-heavyweight champion in a four-belt era.

Promoter Eddie Hearn was very vocal in his disagreement at the result, especially the seemingly lopsided 116-112 card, which was criticised by many other spectators too.

The Compubox stats show that Bivol outlanded Beterbiev by five punches, but the scorecards revealed that all three judges agreed on 10 of the 12 rounds, scored 6-4 to Beterbiev.

It was the KO artist, Beterbiev, who scored the more eye-catching power punches during the contest. Bivol got off to an early lead, clearly winning the first two rounds, but then Beterbiev came on strongly from the third onwards and was particularly dominant during the championships rounds, which was the strong finish he needed to clinch the win.

Will Bivol be able to find that extra bit needed to win the replay or will Beterbiev be able to dominate just as many or even more of the rounds than before? Let’s find out.

Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol Prediction

I believe the rematch will be a carbon copy of the first fight, but Bivol will know that he needs to leave that extra 10% in the ring in order to get ahead on the judges cards at ringside.

Beterbiev could also improve on his last showing by getting started earlier and not giving away the first couple of rounds of the contest and playing catch-up.

If Bivol can reel off those striking combination punches and not let his foot off the gas like he did at times before, then he could win the rematch on points, but Beterbiev will be just as strong and pressurising as always, and that style is very demanding to battle against.

This fight could go either way and could also end in a draw, so this is almost impossible to predict, even though there’s 36 minutes of research to draw upon.

Shakur Stevenson and David Benavidez are both backing Bivol to do the business, and although I think this fight is completely even, I am going to also side with Bivol to find the drive to do that bit more to just get his nose in front.

Prediction: Bivol to win on points.

Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker

🥊BONUS TIP🥊

Daniel Dubois defends his IBF World heavyweight title to Joseph Parker. Both boxers are in the form of their life with Dubois sporting stoppage wins over Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, and Parker outpointing powerhouses Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder.

Parker has waited seven years for his shot at the world title after losing his WBO belt to Anthony Joshua in 2018, so he will make the most of his opportunity and leave everything in the ring. However, Dubois has KO’d his last three opponents in rounds five, eight and 10, also knocking AJ down in the opener, so he has power from start to last.

Prediction: Daniel Dubois to win by knockout.

These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.

What Stakes Should I Use?

We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.

How To Bet On Boxing

There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.

Outright / To Win Fight

As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.

Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.

If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.

Fight Outcome / Method of Victory

This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:

• By KO (knockout), TKO (tecnhical knockout) or DQ (opponent disqualified).
• By Decision (on points) or Technical Decision.

So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.

Round Betting

The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.

Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.

So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.

To Go The Distance

This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.

It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:

• Are the fighters evenly matched?
• Do they have a reputation for durability and rarely having been stopped in the past?
• If there is a favourite, is he/she an aggressive boxer or does he/she prefer to wear their opponent down?
• How many of their previous fights have gone the distance?

The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.

Total Rounds Over/Under

This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.

For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:

• If you think the fight will last for 3 rounds or less, you would bet on Under.
• If you think it will last for 4 rounds or more, you would be on Over.

You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.

Where To Get The Best Odds On Boxing

As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.

We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.

As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.

Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
