You should keep your eye on this fight as the week progresses to catch some great prop bet lines and other betting lines for this bout.
After watching the film on Conway, it’s clear to see that he’s a pure counterpuncher who uses his patience, speed, and timing to be successful in the ring. He doesn’t bring anything spectacular to the ring, but he understands the science behind boxing, and that has carried him a long way for someone who isn’t the biggest, fastest, or most powerful.
Udofia has less online footage but valuable experience against skilled fighters, giving him an advantage. He has been in a few back-and-forth wars that have had to show him a lot of himself.
To succeed against Udofia, apply pressure and force him to fight defensively from an unfavorable position. Thankful of Udofia, Conway’s style isn’t like that at all.
Kieron Conway vs. Linus Udofia Betting Prediction
Making boxing picks on fights like this is so difficult to do. These fighters are relatively unknown, mostly competing in regional matches, and the odds for their bout are extremely tight.
The Conway vs Udofia betting analysis and betting preview has given us just about the best information we could find about this matchup without knowing these two personally.
The official prediction for this middleweight bout is that Udofia will win a very close decision over Conway on Saturday. The reasoning behind this pick is that Conway doesn’t like to come forward and let his hands go in the pocket, so it will give Udofia the confidence he needs to come forward himself and push the pace.
