Espinoza vs Chirino Betting Analysis

Most of the early money in boxing betting markets has come for Espinoza, who is the current champion. He started his last fight as the big underdog, and now it’s Chirino entering the fight as the massive underdog at +500.

We don’t see much movement coming for the underdog. He’s likely to stay around the +500-550 price, but money could come for Espinoza.

Espinoza can start around -1000 if money continues to come for the Mexican featherweight champion.

Bigger fights are on the horizon for Espinoza, so expect to see his name appear on the odds board soon after this fight.

Espinoza vs Chirino Betting Preview & Updates

The latest news out of both camps is that the fighters are in fit order for the title fight.

Espinoza is aware of the situation, and he isn’t looking past Chirino for future fights.

“Yes, I am conscious of that and I do take it with a lot of responsibility,” Espinoza said. “I still try to think of myself as the challenger because I really want to keep that belt. I think he’s going to come to win the title, like all who come to challenge for a world title. That’s a dream of all boxers but I’m going to do everything possible to win.”

Chirino hasn’t had many tough fights throughout his career, which is why he’s the big betting underdog.

Espinoza vs Chirino Recent Results

Espinoza Analysis: The Rightful Champ

The 30-year-old Espinoza faced a significant challenge when he won the WBO belt, pulling off an upset against Robeisy Ramirez. He secured the title by majority decision in what was his first major fight. Despite some tense moments, including being knocked down in the fifth round, Espinoza rallied to drop Ramirez in the 12th round, likely securing the judges’ favor.

Espinoza’s perfect 24-0 record, with 20 wins by knockout, speaks volumes. While many of his victories came against less formidable opponents, his win over Ramirez stands out as a key highlight. With bigger fights on the horizon, Espinoza must remain focused. Defending the title can be more challenging than winning it.

As the -800 favorite against Sergio Chirino, Espinoza cannot afford to be complacent, understanding that Chirino, a +500 underdog, poses a real threat to his championship reign.

Chirino Analysis: Stranger Things Have Happened

There is always room for an upset in boxing, and Chirino looks to cause a big upset. Our Espinoza vs Chirino betting analysis isn’t ruling him out, but he needs to cope with a big rise in opposition. The 29-year-old fighter is looking to follow in Espinoza’s footsteps, though the boxing odds are not in his favor.

Like Espinoza before his title win, he hasn’t faced any notable opponents yet. His toughest challenge came earlier in his career when he lost to Mauricio Lara, a superior boxer, who knocked him out before the third round.

This loss tarnishes his record and doesn’t bode well for his chances. Had he managed to go the distance against Lara, it might have been seen as a positive, but failing to answer the bell in the third round raises concerns about his ability to handle top-tier competition.

Espinoza vs Chirino Betting Prediction

Espinoza features in our boxing best bets for this weekend’s action.

We expect Espinoza to emerge victorious, so we’re backing the -800 odds and adding it to our boxing parlays. As the featherweight title holder, Espinoza has a significant edge in skill and experience over Chirino.

With 20 knockout victories in his 24-0 record, Espinoza’s power is undeniable, making a knockout win a strong possibility. While he would be content with a decision win, Espinoza is likely aiming to make a statement with a knockout.

Bettors should consider the more generous odds for Espinoza to win by knockout.
