This Saturday the WBO World Middleweight and Bantamweight Titles are on the line,\u00a0<\/strong>as we take a trip to Stockton, California, to see the exciting double header event happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stockton Arena will be the venue to host a 9 bouts fight card that culminates with these two title bouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our focus is placed on the headliner fight, between Janikbek Alimkhanuly, the Kazakhstan defending champion, and Steven Butler, the Canadian Challenger who is trying to dethrone him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are expecting some good action during the fight, but we are not expecting it to go all the way to the 12 round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all goes down on Saturday, so we are going to break down the possibilities right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Janikbek Alimkhanuly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 2013 World and Asian Championships gold medalist, Alimkhanuly turned pro in 2016. In May, he beat Danny Dignam via knockout to win the interim WBO title. <\/strong>He was on track to fight Demetrius Andrade for the regular title; however, Andrade vacated the belt to move to a new division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his last fight in November, Alimkhanuly, now promoted, beat Denzel Bentley to retain the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to prove he’s a truly unstoppable force, Janibek Alimkhanuly will defend the WBO middleweight title <\/a>against Steven Butler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Steven Butler?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Butler turned pro in 2014. The Canadian is a multi-time title contender, losing against Ryota Murata in 2019 for the WBA middleweight title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following that bout, he has gone 4-1 and is on a four-fight win streak. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 27-year-old NABF middleweight champion last fought in December, beating Joshua Conley via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis – Janikbek Alimkhanuly vs. Steven Butler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alimkhanuly hasn\u2019t been a pro for long but has plenty of amateur experience and appears to be a solid boxer in all areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butler has power but a suspect chin. He has a reach advantage but isn\u2019t on the same level as Alimkhanuly at this point in their careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We expect Alimkhanuly to leave the ring with his undefeated record intact with another victory, and the odds showcase just how big of a favorite he is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our pick is placed on Alimkhanury to finish the fight in under 8 rounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for a win for Alimkhanuly at -2500. If you bet $100 at such odds you could get $4.00 for a total payout of $104.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
