Cissokho vs. Lucero Betting Preview
Making boxing predictions is a very tricky thing to do for many reasons, depending on the matchup you’re looking at. This is an interesting bout between two talented guys who we need to break down carefully by watching their film of past performances and scan through the betting lines to find the best bet to make.
According to boxing odds, Cissokho is coming in as the massive -800 betting favorite over the +550 Lucero. Lucero has KO power so that +550 isn’t as far away as it may be in some other matchups in different weight classes. When there’s an underdog like the one in this matchup. The Cissokho vs Lucero prediction gets a lot tougher to make.
Styles Clash in the Ring
After watching the tape, this has all the makings to be a very fun fight. The more polished boxer, Cissokho, might be forced to bite down on his mouthpiece and win this fight through grittiness at some points.
Lucero is a slick Mexican boxer with a big right hand and a very solid jab when he can get it going early. When he’s pulling the trigger and fighting behind that stiff jab, he’s very dangerous in the ring.
Cissokho has put together some beautiful performances over the past few years. He is becoming a master with his jab–throwing it off-beat and busting opponent’s faces up early on just by landing that lead hand. He then throws pinpoint right hands to the body and head following that jab.
Cissokho vs. Lucero Betting Prediction
The official Cissokho vs Lucero prediction is that Cissokho will get his hand raised inside the distance this weekend. Keep your eyes open for that method of victory prop bet to be released as fight week continues on.
The reason for this pick is that Cissokho has the most power and is the best puncher that Lucero has faced so far. And Cissokho can hit hard off both his front and back foot. We saw Roberto Valenzuela Jr. try to swarm the former Olympic medalist and get dropped badly chasing him around the ring.
- Pick: Cissokho will get his hand raised inside the distance
