Adames vs. Williams Betting Analysis
Carlos Adames
If we are talking about an Adames vs Williams betting analysis, Adames is the one coming in with not even half of the resume that Williams is. Adames is a 29-year-old Dominican fighter that has a professional record of 22-1 with 17 KOs. He is the younger, more explosive fighter that will be in the ring this weekend.
The most important analytic to look at for this kid is that he hasn’t had a late-round finish in his entire career. This means he starts fast, but is known to kind of coast through the later rounds to his victories.
Julian Williams
Williams doesn’t need any extra work to compare himself to Adames; his resume speaks for itself. He is the former unified champion at junior middleweight. Holding his spot on top of the division after a gutsy performance against Jarret Hurd in 2019.
At age 33, this is probably the last time he gets a huge opportunity like this one. He showed a stellar performance in his debut as a legit 160-pounder and is looking to put it all together on Saturday night.
Adames vs. Williams Betting Preview
The boxing odds have the younger defending interim champ Adames as the massive -625 betting favorite over the +410 Julian Williams.
Williams has been an underdog a lot of times in his career, including his unified title win back in 2019. In that one, he was the +550 betting underdog and won that fight.
The over/under is set at 7.5 rounds for this title bout. This seems perfect because that is right on the line where Adames usually starts to coast. His latest finish is in the 6th round, and Williams is known to take the fight into the late rounds most of the time.
Carlos Adames vs. Julian Williams Betting Prediction
After breaking down the Adames vs Williams betting analysis and betting preview, this is a much tougher fight to pick than what the odds suggest. Williams has proved before to win in a massive fight as the underdog. But he has also dropped some fights he should have won.
Adames is young, but his inexperience might become a factor against a crafty veteran like Williams. Boxing matches at this level get tough to predict because we have seen so many upsets happen over the past several years.
In this case, the moneyline for Adames is so impossible to bet on that an upset pick for Williams can easily be justified. He is craft, has higher fight IQ, and has the experience of a big fight headlining a card for a world title.
- If you think Adames is going to get the job done, our prediction is that he finishes the fight between round 4-6.
That prop bet can be a very valuable line if you look in your sportsbook.
