George Kambosos Jr’s Betting Outlook vs Hughes

Kambosos Jr returns to the ring aiming to rebound from his pair of championship losses to Devin Haney.

His previous win to become the unified champion at 135 pounds resulted in a 2021 upset-of-the-year caliber effort and Kambosos Jr looks to resume shaking up the boxing world.

Kambosos Jr has seemed motivated by his recent setbacks, has used those lessons to sharpen new tools, and seems to be approaching this next one in a measured analytical fashion.

The former unified world lightweight champion looks to reassert himself in the title picture after consecutive aims to cement himself as the undisputed champion did not pan out.

Kambosos Jr’s place in the division is a curious one as he admittedly is a former titleholder. But he has this surrounding perception from followers of boxing that he could very well lose to many within the top ten of his weight category,

Maxi Hughes’ Betting Outlook vs Kambosos Jr

Hughes is getting a step up bout here that many in the sweet science community see as a deserved reward. He collected British and European titles en route to his present championship tier in the sport.

Hughes is coming off a career-best win over a former featherweight world title holder and looks to halt a former champion in another weight division this weekend. Kambosos Jr has the intention to close this one out inside the distance though and articulate his namesake of ‘Ferocious’ in how the story of the fight unfurls.

These two match up in what is a competitive crossroads fight for the 135-pound ranks and I feel there’s more parity in this one than the oddsmakers seem to see.

Kambosos Jr has the better finishing rate and the superior resume overall but Hughes is a crafty, capable boxer albeit not somebody who has that earth-shattering punching power.
