Why Bet on Michael Conlan
Conlan (16-1, 8 KOs) had made solid enough strides after turning professional in 2017; ending his amateur career after a controversial defeat at the 2016 Olympics.
Several fringe contenders lost against the Belfast man. That led to a shot at the WBA featherweight title in March this year against Nottingham’s Leigh Wood.
The 30-year-old began as a warm favorite to defeat Wood in the champion’s backyard, and after he dropped him in the opening round, and largely dominated by halfway.
Why Bet on Miguel Marriaga
Marriaga (30-5, 26 KOs), is a man who has been in with and lost to, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Oscar Valdez, and Nicholas Walters in world title fights.
The 35-year-old has only been stopped once, retiring against the gifted Lomachenko, and is durable.
The Scorpion has lost two of his last three and was dropped on the way to a wide points defeat by Eduardo Ramirez in his last contest last December.
Final Betting Analysis – Michael Conlan vs. Miguel Marriaga
It will be interesting to see how Conlan deals with such a psychologically damaging defeat in his last fight.
He may adopt a safety-first approach to get him through here.
This should work in his favor as he has the skills required to be able to stay out of trouble and win widely on the cards.
