Campbell Hatton vs. Jamie Sampson Betting Analysis
Campbell Hatton
Hatton is a British boxer with a professional record of 13-0, with five wins by KO at the age of 22. He’s known as the son of all-time great Ricky Hatton, a two-division world champion.
He had a head start on the competition by being around the sport of boxing since he was born and being able to watch a legendary boxer work through his career.
“Hurricane” is listed at only 5’6”, which is the same height as his dad. There’s not much information on him as of right now because he’s still only a 22-year-old prospect that is slowly working his way up through the ranks, so he’s ready for the big fights later on.
Jamie Sampson
Sampson is a UK boxer with a professional record of 9-2 and has yet to win a bout by KO at the age of 32. He’s a southpaw boxer who has been around the sport his whole life.
Sampson’s parents ran the Hillsborough ABC and produced two world champions. Trained by his dad, Sampson accumulated an impressive amateur record of 47-20 and took second place at the 2006 ABA National finals.
Sampson stopped boxing in 2014 but made a return to action this year and joined his family full of boxers. Including four siblings that compete, and his dad runs his own gym.
Campbell Hatton vs. Jamie Sampson Betting Preview
To make the best Hatton vs Sampson prediction possible, we have to take a closer look at the betting lines and study the tape on both of these athletes. We are going to have to be very exact with the prediction to win any money as well.
According to boxing odds, Hatton is a massive -1800 betting favorite over the +800 Sampson. There are barely any sportsbooks with lines available for this bout. So keep your eye on your book at the end of this week for any more lines.
The Challenge of Returning to the Ring
By watching the tape, both of these guys aren’t going to show you any kind of elite boxing in the ring on Saturday. Hatton gets a pass because he couldn’t get amateur fights due to COVID. So he is gaining experience as a young professional against some low-level fighters.
Hatton is a scrappy kid who will try to win fights based on activity and will keep the pace up for all eight rounds. He hasn’t been tested too much but has shown a ton of improvement since his debut. He’s been getting better at moving off the centerline, countering punches, and changing up his attacks.
Sampson has fought once in nine years, and it was a brutal performance, with all due respect. His most recent bout is available online to watch. And it was a lot of throwing a single punch and grabbing/tying up. He did not want anything to do with the punches coming his way. And it took away from getting any offense going himself.
Campbell Hatton vs. Jamie Sampson Betting Prediction
After an interesting preview of this bout, the official Hatton vs Sampson prediction is that Hatton will remain undefeated and get his hand raised on Saturday–ultimately showing improvement.
Keep your eye on the method of victory prop bets becoming available as the fight creeps closer because the moneyline is too crazy to bet on. He’s going to win, but it will probably be a decision with his lack of power. If there’s a prop bet available, take Hatton to get the stoppage late for the best chance to win some real money.
- Pick: Hatton will remain undefeated and get his hand raised.
