Mbilli vs Derevyanchenko Betting Preview

You can’t make Mbilli vs Derevyanchenko boxing predictions without an understanding of the betting lines and the styles that both men in the fight have. We will need to break both of those factors down before making an accurate prediction.

Starting with the boxing predictions, Mbilli is going into the weekend as a big -500 betting favorite over the +350 Derevyanchenko. The over/under is set at 8.5 rounds and this fight is favored to go to a decision at -180.

Some other boxing prop bets are available to help out with the value of a bet, especially if you want to put money on Mbilli as he is a big favorite.

Stylistically, this is going to be the toughest test for Mbilli yet, and the fight itself has all the makings to be a Fight of the Year contender. These two leave it all in the ring and will let their hands go.

Mbilli trains with the same team as light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, which makes sense after seeing his elite punching ability. He uses his physicality to pressure opponents, making them go backward while throwing heavy power combinations to the body and head. He throws everything with bad intentions, it’s must-see boxing.

Derevyanchenko is a treat to watch. He has great feet, even in his late 30s, and has so much heart. He also has a great chin and always shows up in great condition. Sergi thrives in the chaos of a firefight in the ring, but he shows incredible composure within those exchanges–using his feet to get in and out of range and land fast combinations.
