Why Bet on Artem Dalakian?

A Ukrainian-born fighter, the champion has been wowing boxing fans for years. He is no stranger to the rings of the boxing world, with a staggering undefeated record of 22-0, which includes 15 wins by knockout. Dalakian first captured the WBA world flyweight title in 2017, proving his absolute dominance in the flyweight division. With his dynamic boxing style that combines agility, precision, and raw power, he is a formidable opponent.

The most remarkable aspect of Dalakian’s style is his adaptability and unpredictability. His impressive agility allows him to dance around his opponents, thwarting their attempts to land solid blows. On the other hand, his razor-sharp precision tends to be a devastating counterattack for opponents lulled into a false sense of security.

His versatility and adaptability in the ring have earned him high praise and made him one of the best in his category.

Why Bet on Seigo Yuri Akui?

In the opposite corner, we have a promising Japanese boxer challenging for the title. Akui, who boasts a solid record of 18 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, with 11 wins by knockout, has shown flashes of brilliance in his fights. His quick reactions and the accuracy of his punches attest to his potential to surprise even the most experienced fighters.

Akui’s style may give him an edge over Dalakian. He is an expert at taking advantage of his opponents’ small mistakes. The precision needed to capitalize on these demonstrates his refined skills and understanding as a professional boxer.

The local drive and determination have never flagged despite a few losses, making him a force to be reckoned with on November 15.

Final Betting Analysis: Artem Dalakian vs. Seigo Yuri Akui

This boxing match promises high-intensity action, and we can expect plenty of back-and-forth punches as the experienced Dalakian defends his title against the ambitious Akui. 

First of all, Dalakian’s unbeaten record, coupled with his adaptable and dynamic style, make him the safest bet to retain the title. His proven record of dominance in the flyweight class is a testament to his formidable skills. However, Akui’s precision and ability to capitalize on small mistakes may provide the upset.

It should be noted that Akui has a lower knockout percentage than his rival, which could indicate that, should the combat go the distance, the champion may have the upper hand. Also, considering Dalakian’s experience and Akui’s drive, a key area to focus on would be the later rounds of the fight.

We believe the WBA Flyway champion will find it hard to maintain his KO record, but his experience will take him to a unanimous decision win.

Go for a victory for Artem Dalakian at +100. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $100 for a total payout of $200.
