Investing With Boxing Picks, Week 32: Riding Out The Drought

We haven't won a bet since February.

This last run is more like what we were expecting from the start.  We could post a bet on a -1,000 favorite to get back in the win column.  Instead we’ll just stick with our strategy and watch it crash and burn.  Besides, epic failure is just as interesting as winning.  Here’s how we’re doing:

 

Boxing Betting Annualized Rate of Return (since 9/17/20):  38.82%

Mutual Funds Annualized Rate of Return (since 9/17/20):    42.21%

Boxing Betting Return On Investment (ROI):   11.87%

 

This week we’re betting the main event of the Queensberry show, Felix Cash vs Denzel Bentley.  This one has the potential to be the best fight of the weekend.  Both men will be in their toughest test and both are aggressive fighters who let their hands go.  Cash has more power and may throw the shorter shots but he probably doesn’t have a speed advantage.  We’ve seen Bentley fight on the back foot in the first Heffron fight but he has more success when he’s coming forward.  It’ll be interesting to see how he fights tomorrow.  If he gets put on the back foot early in the fight we don’t like his chances, so we think may see a bit of a war.  We bet against Bentley his last time out and he proved us wrong.  We’re betting against him again as we think he’ll be at a power disadvantage but we expect a close fight.  If he wins tomorrow we may find it hard to bet against him in the future.

We’re also betting an undercard fight on Saturday’s ESPN show, Joseph Adorno vs Jamaine Ortiz.  We’re breaking one of our rules with this one as Ortiz isn’t in our database.  We’ve seen him before but we haven’t seen him recently and we don’t remember how he fights.  We’re blind betting on Joseph Adorno here.  We’ve seen him several times and think he has a fairly high ceiling, though he struggled a bit his last time out.  Both guys will be in their toughest fight in this one and we’re a little surprised to see Adorno with underdog odds this wide.  Ortiz had the better amateur career but Adorno would normally be considered the A side in this fight as the Top Rank fighter.  Adorno might have a slight power advantage but this one is likely going the distance.  And if you can get a Top Rank prospect with underdog odds in a fight you expect to go the distance, you have to take it.
