Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli Undercard Treble 🥊 @ 10.34

Rafael Espinoza could well be the best featherweight on the planet at the moment

Last but not least is a featherweight bout involving former Naoya Inoue opponent David Alan Picasso, of Mexico, and Carl Jammes Martin, who hails from the Philippines.

Following his defeat to Inoue last December, Picasso has returned to featherweight and scored a round-two knockout win over Maicol Rincon in his lone outing of the 2026 calendar. Yet, at the world level, Picasso has not shown that he is a genuine puncher, with career-best wins over Azat Hovannisyan and Kyonosuke Kameda each coming on points.

Those close to Carl Jammes Martin have always championed him as a threat, but he also has limited featherweight experience and is making an almighty jump up in levels here, with Picasso the sensible pick of the two for any trebles or accumulators.

A towering, imposing figure, Rafael Espinoza could well be the best featherweight on the planet at the moment, but his doubters are right to criticise his recent run of opponents, which haven’t really been up to scratch or able to test him

Here, Espinoza takes on a late-notice opponent in Nicaragua’s Ricardo Blandon, who has fought as low as super-flyweight, as recently as 2022, and has no real place in a featherweight world title challenge, other than because the fact that he has the guts to step in at the last minute.

Expect Espinoza to make easy work of Blandon, despite the fact that the latter has been halted only once in six defeats, with ‘El Divino’ hopefully moving on to bigger and better challengers in the coming months.

In a confusing clash, we do not yet know if Jaime Munguia’s WBA super-middleweight world title will be on the line against what is an unsanctioned challenger in Russia’s Nikita Zon, after Munguia avoided a scrap with his mandated dance partner, Bektemir Melikuziev.

Whilst Zon’s official record will read officially as an undefeated one, he has twice lost on IBA-Pro cards (which are more-or-less professional), including a final-round knockout loss to Cuban standout Arlen Lopez, which was up at cruiserweight.

Meanwhile, whilst Munguia has 35 KOs to his name in 46 wins, in his two outings since being knocked out himself by Bruno Surace, we have seen him adopt a less aggressive approach.

As a result, I fancy Zon to take Munguia the distance here, with Munguia being more cautious than the bookmakers expected and winning on the cards, priced at 4.00

Boxing Tips & Predictions

How To Bet on Boxing

There are many ways to bet on boxing. You can back accumulators taking up the entire card, or even utilise bet builder features to back the main event of a fight card.

There are plenty of variables in boxing, so it’s always important to have a good idea of each fighter when betting on a specific fight. We have plenty of predictions over on our Boxing Tips & Predictions.

Best Boxing Markets

When betting on UK markets such as SkyBet, Paddy Power, and bet365, boxing markets offer value. One of the most popular and profitable markets is the 'Method of Victory' market, where you can back a fighter to win by KO, TKO, or decision.

Another solid option is the 'Round Betting' market, especially when one fighter is heavily favoured. Predicting the specific round or group of rounds (e.g. rounds 1-3) can offer longer odds and big returns. 'Fight to Go the Distance' is ideal when both boxers have strong chins or low knockout ratios.

'Draw' betting can be overlooked, but pays significantly if you suspect a closely matched fight.

Top UK bookmakers will often offer significant 'Price Boosts' on major main events. These can range in odds, with some as short as EVS, and others going up to 100/1+.
