AI Betting Picks
- Over/Under – Over 10.5 rounds
- Moneyline – Rafael Espinoza (-800)
The official Espinoza vs Chirino betting prediction is that Espinoza will defend his belt and get his hand raised on Friday night. The value isn’t there for a straight moneyline bet, but taking him to win by decision at +185 is a great opportunity this week; here’s why.
Espinoza has all the tools to be a great champion. He has tons of heart, he’s in great condition, and he brings a lot of problems for the smaller fighters in the featherweight division. His performance against Ramirez in December is as gutsy as it gets and could have ended in a KO if there was more time.
Chirino looks to be a solid boxer. He punches well and is patient in the ring; waiting for the opportunity to find the clean shots and he counters well. The power might not be enough to pose a threat to the offensive attack of Espinoza, though.
Chirino is very tough it seems and he will not have much pressure going into Friday night as he has already lost once in his career and knows this might be his best shot to be a world champion. That’s a dangerous storm for Espinoza to get through.
Look for Espinoza to pick up the pace as the fight goes on and slowly take control of this fight from rounds 6-10. The last few rounds might be a lot of surviving for Chirino and the activity of Espinoza will get him the nod on the scorecards.
There has been too many Sergio Chirino fights that have ended in a decision to confidently bet on this fight ending inside the distance. But with these two Mexican boxing fighters battling in the ring, anything can happen.
