Boxing preview: Fury-Schwarz, Warrington-Galahad
Tyson Fury's Las Vegas debut against Tom Schwarz
Boxing action this weekend is highlighted by Tyson Fury's Las Vegas debut against Tom Schwarz on Saturday, while Josh Warrington and contender Kid Galahad fight for a featherweight title in England.IBF Featherweight Title
Josh Warrington 28-0-0 (-325) vs. Kid Galahad 26-0-0 (+240)Warrington will defend the title he won via upset over Carl Frampton in December and has all the tools to be featherweight champion for a long time.
The key in this fight will be if Kid Galahad can slow down Warrington's attack. Galahad can punch from all sorts of angles, and he has a legit shot to frustrate the champ Saturday night.
Heavyweights
Tyson Fury 27-0-1 (-3650) vs. Tom Schwarz 24-0-0 (+1075)The buzz around Fury-Schwarz is significant, even though Fury is a major favorite. And we must not forget that Anthony Joshua lost multiple heavyweight championship belts as a huge favorite only a couple of weeks ago.
Fury should dominate Schwarz from the outset, but Schwarz is a brawler type with a ton of power. If he catches Fury, Schwarz can upset hopes of a huge rematch with Deontay Wilder.
Schwarz has never fought on this level, though. Instead of backing Fury to win at the low odds, handicappers should get creative with some other BetAmerica markets for this fight.
Over/Under 9.5 rounds
Fury has knockout power, but he'll use his usual style to extend the fight. Fury figures to dance around Schwarz for most of the time, maybe even until the 10th round, which means over 9.5 at +135 is an attractive play.Tom Schwarz by KO, TKO or disqualification
The German can punch. A strong puncher always has a shot, because it only takes one or two to connect to knockout an opponent. If Schwarz can connect, you'll be paid handsomely at +2500.Round betting
The odds are great for individual round betting. If you think Fury wins in Round 8, the odds are +900. If you like Fury to end Schwarz's night in Round 7, the odds are +800.Schwarz doesn't have Anthony Ruiz's hand speed, which means chances of another heavyweight upset are slim, but round betting is a great way to wager on a lopsided boxing match.
