Boxing odds have Edmondson as the massive -2000 betting favorite this weekend. You can get Nosic at incredible +1000 odds.
The over/under is set at 4.5 rounds, with the under at plus-odds to hit. Both fighters seem to have plenty of power at their disposal, and this fight could end at any moment with a clean shot.
Edmondson is clearly the one with more experience and seems to be the much more skilled fighter in the oddsmaker’s eyes, so it is tough to go against what the odds say–especially if we don’t know much about these fighters due to their brief careers.

Edmondson vs. Nosic Betting Prediction
Even though this is not one of the big boxing fights coming up, you can still win some money if betting correctly on these smaller fights on undercards.
- The official Edmondson vs Nosic prediction is that Edmondson is going to win via KO.
He looks to be the faster, stronger, and the better puncher. At this level, the boxing technique and skills aren’t as big of an issue between two competitors; it usually is who is the better puncher.
A quick 1-2 combo from Edmondson is going to find a home and hurt Nosic once Edmondson gets into the fight after round 1. Then once the first big shot hurts Nosic, it’s tough to have confidence in his ability to stay in a fight and use any fight IQ or skill to have success.
Nosic is the athlete that fights, and Edmondson is the boxer in this case. Close to his hometown and in front of his people, Edmondson will get a big win and keep his momentum going into the next phase of his professional career.
