AI Betting Picks
Over/Under – Under 10.5 rounds (+130)
Moneyline – Shakur Stevenson (-2500)
It’s pretty rare when two boxing fighters face each other for a world championship that one will be such a massive favorite. Even though Harutyunyan is fighting for a world title, he is no match for Stevenson.
The official Stevenson vs Harutyunyan betting prediction is that Stevenson will dominate and get a stoppage victory on Saturday night. After all the criticism about his “boring” fighting style and lackluster performances as of late, Stevenson will be ready to prove something against a perfect matchup.
Stevenson going up against a flat-footed orthodox is probably his preferred matchup. He is a master at manipulating that lead hand against orthodox opponents and will cause a lot of issues for the Armenian-born German on Saturday.
This is also Stevenson’s last fight on his TopRank contract and he will need to showcase his talents for potential future promoters as well.
The Shakur Stevenson rounds will be all of them. There isn’t a path to victory for Harutyunyan unless he can somehow catch Stevenson with a devastating shot early in the fight. The speed, reactions, and fight IQ of Stevenson are far too much for Harutyunyan to handle.
Look for Stevenson to dominate the center of the ring and play games with that lead hand of Harutyunyan in the early rounds. After round 5, Harutyunyan is going to want a way out after being frustrated and demoralized by not being able to touch the crafty southpaw world champion.
We are taking Stevenson to score a TKO/KO victory before the 10th round on Saturday night, most likely between rounds 6-8.
