Aqib Fiaz vs. Reece Bellotti Betting Preview
The Fiaz vs Bellotti prediction is probably the toughest one to make out of all the fights on this UK card this weekend. But that might mean it’s the easiest to bet on. Let’s take a closer look at the betting lines and study the tape on both fighters before arriving at the betting pick to make.
According to the available boxing odds, Bellotti is actually coming into this weekend as the slight -125 betting favorite over the +110 Fiaz. There are not too many instances in boxing where a guy with five wins is the favorite over someone with an undefeated record and notable victories. There still aren’t any other lines available halfway through fight week. So keep an eye on more being released.
From watching the tape on both guys, this is clearly going to be a fun fight to watch. Fiaz has great balance and a strong base. He is becoming a master of controlling the distance in the ring and can pop-shot his way to a victory against anybody at this level.
Bellotti is an experienced boxer who has fought his way out of some tough times in the ring. He is a dangerous opponent for someone like Fiaz. A win will steal the hype of a prospect and put him in a British title fight in his next bout.
Aqib Fiaz vs. Reece Bellotti Betting Prediction
This has the potential to be the best of all the boxing matches this weekend. Because these two are going to come ready to give it their all and leave it in the ring. The official Fiaz vs Bellotti prediction is that Fiaz will get his hand raised as the underdog.
Since this is essentially a 50/50 fight on paper. The advantage goes to Fiaz due to his experience of losing focus and getting dropped in his last bout. And the heart he has in the ring–fighting for his mother, who recently passed away.
The counterpunching from Fiaz is going to be the key to this fight. He is going to walk Bellotti onto some heavy shots. And have confidence after finally getting his first stoppage victory earlier this year.
- Pick: Fiaz will get his hand raised as the underdog.
