Not surprisingly, WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade is a -7000 favorite over little-known challenger Luke Keeler this Thursday night in the main event of DAZN’s world title tripleheader at the Meridian at Island Gardens in Miami, Florida. Keeler backers can get +3000.
In the second world title bout, IBF super featherweight champion Tevin Farmer is a -190 narrow favorite over Jojo Diaz (+165). Farmer is making his fifth defense, while Diaz is making his second world title attempt.
Finally, oddsmakers are expecting WBA/IBF unified super bantamweight champion Daniel Roman to lose against Murodjon Akhmadaliev, a 2016 Olympic bronze medalist who has had seven pro fights. Akhmadaliev is a -260 favorite, while the champion Roman is +220. Roman is making the fifth defense of his WBA belt and first defense of his IBF strap.

70-1 tells you the quality of fighter hes facing yet he wants to fight Canelo or GGG ??? no sir you don’t get that lotto ticket sir fight Jacobs or Charlo earn it don’t just flap your yap way to the top
Right, and Andrade been turning down fights from all the top Middleweights. Too bad all the top Middleweights are beating down his door and Andade refuse to answer. Your kidding right?
Cant wait to hear you guys justify Canelo next opponent. I knew the Canelo/GGG Protection Agency would chime in with the same BS. He obviously needs to take these fights because the others are scared. Just beating a dead horse at this point. Canelo,GGG, Loma and Fury will be done in a few years. So who is next on the protection list? Teo? Maybe Josh Taylor? Oh, Michael Conlan?
No one is running from this bum. He literally brings nothing to the table. No money to be made fighting a no name and a VERY boring fighter. No one cares to see him fight.
Do not forget Berserker that in April 2018 Andrade was blatantly ducked by GGG when his fight against Canelo fell through due to the finding of banned substances on Alvarez test, and a replacement needed to be found. Andrade offered himself with no conditions through all the sources possible and was ignored (ducked) by GGG and his team, choosing instead a semi retired, ultra shot corpse named Vanes Martirosyan.

Who made this match?
Kinda reminds me of Peter McNeeley against Mike Tyson.
In 2018, Keeler had a draw with Adam Jones (7-29-5, 2 KOs). Odds should be 70,000 to 1.
I’ve seen Adam Jones fight many a time, he’s much, much better than his record suggests. Keeler is a smaller fighter than Jones too, but still should have beaten him. Andrade to stop Keeler inside 6 rounds
I like Farmer vs Diaz as a matchup….Farmer is an improving fighter, but not quite the stardom level yet. Diaz is gritty and a decent pressure fighter. This will be a good fight. Your mileage/opinion may vary….
