AI Betting Picks
| ODDS | AI BETTING PICKS |
| OVER/UNDER | Over 10.5 rounds (-215) |
| MONEYLINE | O’Shaquie Foster (-900) |
The boxing AI picks are pretty easy to make for this one. Foster is the better boxer and both men are tough and durable, so this will most likely be a decision victory for Foster if you go by the analytics.
But if you want to make the smartest bet, the official Foster vs Nova prediction is that Foster will win by decision, so you should take a risk and bet on that exact method of victory.
Foster is going to have some issues keeping his distance and boxing on the outside early on when Nova is fresh; but with the amount of sloppy footwork and holes in Nova’s game, Foster will be able to get the job done.
Taking Foster to win a decision at -130 is arguably the best bet of the weekend. He isn’t going to have much power in his punches while off his back foot, but the low guard of Nova and undisciplined defense will allow Foster to score with ease as the rounds go by.
Foster vs Nova Prediction Odds
| FIGHTER | MONEYLINE | OVER/UNDER |

Nova is looking to become a world champion as the +500 underdog. He is also at +880 odds to win by KO and +1200 to win by a decision. From what the odds look like, it seems that the oddsmakers believe his best chance is to catch Foster and win by KO.
Some other boxing odds that might help your Foster vs Nova prediction and what bets to make are the over/under of 10.5 rounds and this bout being favored to go to a decision at -176. If you are new to betting on boxing, even though these odds are very one-sided, anything can happen in a boxing ring.
