| OVER/UNDER | Over 9.5 Rounds (-115) |
| MONEYLINE | Kenshiro Teraji (-750) |
Light flyweight boxing fighters are always fun to watch because of their skill level and speed. Not a lot of them have KO power at that weight class, so their boxing ability needs to stand out to reach the world championship level of fighting.
The official Teraji vs. Canizales prediction is that Teraji will win later in the fight. The over 9.5 round bet is the best bet to make, but the money line isn’t valuable at -750. You can take Teraji to win via KO at -112 too, but that’s a big risk for not a massive reward.
Canizales is a tough fighter with a strong ability to take a beating on the inside but looks to always return the favor. He throws big swinging hooks that will put him in danger of the straight right hands from Teraji.
Teraji has the speed and size advantage in the ring on Tuesday and will look to put on a show for the fans in Osaka. He has a very good jab that he uses to set up for his big right hand down the middle.
