On ESPN (10PM ET/7PM PT), WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt is a -380 favorite over Oscar Valdez (+315). Based on their previous fights, this bout could be one for the ages.
On Showtime (9PM ET/6PM PT), four-division world champion Adrien Broner is -900 against unbeaten Jovanie Santiago +600. Broner always pulls big numbers. A notable co-feature is heavyweight Otto Wallin is a -275 favorite over Dominic Breazeale (+235).
Broner could pick big numbers on the past, I doubt that now after a serie of poor performances, I personally lost enthusiasm about him. Valdez vs. Berchelt is by far a most significant fight, more desrving to have our attention, both are good and decent persons also, dedicated with honesty to the craft.
I like Berchelt and AB to win,I see Breakwater beating Wallin also
Valdez and Santiago at those big odds worth a small wager-especially Valdez. Wallin should win.
Broner’s big numbers? Maybe if he had kept his form that got him famous prior to fighting Maidana. Not now against a B level opposition. If he ever gets big numbers, that’s because he’s on the B-side against top fighters that people want to see him get beat up. That’s unfortunate. He did seem like the next big thing in the lower weight division.
Nothing against showtime and Adrien broner, I always try to watch his fights, but I’m more interested in Valdez vs Berchelt.
Both are entertaining cards but I think the heavyweight fight between Otto and Breazeale should be pretty darn good.
Broner losing all of that weight equals a sluggish performance, and at 31, add about 5 years to that for partying and 7 kids. He got about two more paydays coming his way then off to the scrap heap.
Would be great if HBO was back in the mix!
HBO would be so far gone by now, it would be offering Bivol- Chilemba II
