Eric McConico to Win (+226)

Odds available at BetOnline at time of publishing

I'm picking Eric McConico to win his fight against Donte Johnson. McConico is known for his striking skills, and he needs to keep the fight standing to show off his punches. Johnson might try to take him down, so if McConico can defend against that, he has a solid chance to score a win. The odds are a bit higher for McConico, which means he's the underdog, but he really does have a real shot at pulling off the victory. Just remember, anything can happen in a fight, so it's not a guarantee. It was priced at +226 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $32.60 if it lands. This is a long shot at the price, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

The tale of the tape:

  • Eric McConico: last five W-L-W-L, on a 1-fight win streak, 0% of career wins came by knockout, 111 days since the last fight
  • Donte Johnson: last five W-W-W, on a 3-fight win streak, 12% of career wins came by knockout, 160 days since the last fight

That is how our model reads Eric McConico v Donte Johnson. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
