Katie Taylor puts her legend status on the line again. This time, she fights it out in Dublin, Ireland. She is not quite the most powerful fighter in the super lightweight division. However, her 22-0 mark is favored to go to 23-0 after this bout. Also, she comes into this tilt at 36 years old. The Irish boxer is an incredible boxer. Super Lightweight Boxing Picks wonders how Taylor will fare against the British champion.
Taylor believes she can move up in weight class and defeat Cameron. She is 22-0 with six knockouts and comes off a legendary performance against Amanda Serrano late last year. That was one of the year’s fights in the ladies’ ranks. Now, those two were set to rematch before Serrano came down with an injury, naturally, in stepped Chantelle Cameron with her own belts.
This fight expects to highlight the crafty nature of Taylor. There are advantages the Irish woman can use from having the Dublin (hometown) crowd on her side. Likely, she wants to put on a show for the folks at 3Arena. One of the other bigger advantages may come from Taylor’s stage experience. Ring rust is about the same for both pugilists. Taylor’s wisdom figures to be her biggest asset.
This division ranks as a good deal of fun because Taylor is moving up to Super Lightweight. Part of the reason Chantelle Cameron is an intriguing moneyline bet is her own ability to fight wisely beyond her years. Why? Simply, too few seem to laud her reach and height advantage in this bout. Against an older Katie Taylor, Cameron knows the orthodox fighter has some good power, but so does she. Her numbers lengthened a bit in the last couple of weeks.
Now, Cameron might end this early on Saturday. The problem is, does one take a risk on a potential knockout before the championship round? That seems awfully unlikely. However, those odds are around +1000 to see Cameron put Taylor on the canvas for the night. The British fighter possesses knockout power, with eight of her 17 wins coming by knockout. Some may be overlooking her a bit as she goes into a hostile environment.
Yes, Cameron could be the one eyeing the bigger picture. There is this idea that Cameron could still move down to lightweight for some fights. Taylor carries the hometown crowd and has some concerns about scoring in such a huge fight. However, Taylor carries some big advantages, including three inches in height and reach.
An extra five pounds does not seem like a lot, but Cameron has several fights at this weight under her belt. Her jab is a good weapon but most underestimate her angles and combinations. Cameron can keep Taylor at bay better than most. Here’s that moneyline number for these Super Lightweight Boxing Picks.
So, will Katie Taylor get more chances after this Saturday? The Irish fighter is quite the fighter. Do not let the six knockouts in 22 bouts fool anyone. She does have some power of her own. There is one drawback. Taylor is now 36, and even in ladies’ boxing, time is often undefeated. Even in her last bout against Serrano, there were times when she was more vulnerable than usual.
With the Super Lightweight Boxing Picks, Taylor ranges anywhere from -160 to -185 as a favorite for this Saturday night. That number moved a little bit from a few weeks back. This stemmed from some experts believing that Taylor has the point advantage since Taylor is fighting in her own backyard. Would anyone be surprised by a little hometown boost? Not at all.
Both fighters possess much bravery, but Taylor needs to show the heavier Cameron she can go toe-to-toe. That creates some considerable entertainment in itself. An actual knockout or TKO is possible if either one gets caught looking flatfooted. This is likely a bout that goes down to the scorecards. Their experience with Taylor is a huge reason why she is a favorite on Saturday from Dublin, as much as the location of the bout.
Super Lightweight props for Saturday; see solid online boxing odds for this fight. Only one prop is what we would call easier to digest. One of them is Cameron, to win by unanimous decision. This carries a little risk because referees sometimes get in the way. So, the UD prop comes in around +200 for Cameron. That +450 for under 8.5 rounds is not likely.
Hopefully, a few more props will open up for this fight if the bout goes the distance.
Super Lightweight boxing picks expect a Cameron decision win over Katie Taylor Saturday from Dublin.
