She is a former world title challenger where she lost via unanimous decision to Yamileth Mercado in 2021.

Guzman vs. Ali Betting Preview
The Guzman vs Ali betting picks are very difficult to make this time around due to the fact that Guzman won as the massive underdog in their first fight. The oddsmakers have a completely different opinion on this matchup now, so let’s preview the betting lines.
According to boxing odds, Guzman is now coming in as the slight -125 betting favorite over Ali at -105. There’s still plenty of time for many more lines to be released, but the money line is only available at select sportsbooks.
In their previous fight, Ali was the -1200 betting favorite as lines closed. Guzman cashed out as the +1100 underdog, winning a few people a lot of money.
After watching the tape of their previous meeting, it looked liked Ali started off really well and controlled the fight in the first few rounds. She looked faster than Guzman and she was countering very well.
Once a few rounds went by, Guzman started to actually pick up her pace a bit and put more pressure on the lengthy and thin Ali. She also started timing Ali’s offense really well and was able to catch her clean in the 5th round. After that knockdown in the 5th, you could tell that it was hunting mode for Guzman.
Julissa Alejandra Guzman vs. Ramla Ali Betting Prediction
Making boxing picks on a rematch is very difficult because both fighters will make adjustments. Also, the betting lines have shifted dramatically since the first meeting between these two women.
With that being said, the Guzman vs Ali betting picks to make is taking Ali’s moneyline. She is way too skilled and smart to get caught again. She is the better boxer and is faster than Guzman, so this will be a much more calculated fight from the former Olympian.
- Boxing Pick: Ramla Ali at -105
