Charlie Edwards v Angel Moreno Betting Tips & Predictions
Big time boxing returns to our screens on Saturday as Matchroom Sports present an action-packed evening of professional pugilism from the former Olympic village in Stratford, East London. Some of the most exciting young fighters are included on a bill that sees Charlie Edwards defend his WBC flyweight title against the challenge of Spain’s Angel Moreno. Here are our top Charlie Edwards v Angel Moreno betting tips.
Others to watch out for are Joshua Buatsi, who puts his unbeaten record on the line against Liam Conroy in a light heavyweight tussle for the British title. Big-hitting pair Lawrence Okolie and Wadi Camacho go toe-to-toe and fireworks are expected in that one as Machoman aims to catapult himself towards a crack at the European title, but to do that he must shine against a man unbeaten in 11 with a fearsome 73% KO average.
If you are a lover of boxing this is a card that’ll ensure you’re settled into your seats early, appreciating the support acts are just as interesting as the bill-topper. If you’re little more than a casual follower on the lookout for a Saturday night interest, you’ll be glad to learn all major bookmakers offer betting on the main bouts. Pick your match winner or deliver a body blow to the bookies by calling the method of victory at a big price, deciding between knockout or points.
Living the Dream
Charlie Edwards may duck between the ropes on fight night with only 15 bouts under his belt – boasting a record of 14 wins against one defeat – but he is already a world champion and is a young man living the dream. The 26-year-old from Surrey made his professional debut in January 2015 when stopping opponent Craig Derbyshire in the last of a four-round contest and has gone from strength to strength since, each of his first two settled inside the distance.
Edwards’ form saw him fast-tracked towards the top table, but his first world title challenge ended in defeat when stopped in round 10 by Filipino John Riel Casimero in the summer of 2016 when contesting the IBF gong. Many thought Edwards had stepped up too early and, despite a gallant effort that night, it did look like he was in over his head. The young Englishman didn’t get the desired result, but he did pick-up invaluable experience and that was to make the difference when getting a second bite at the cherry.
Second Time Lucky
Following that defeat, Edwards make a quick-fire return to winning ways with the third-round TKO of Georgi Georgiev at Wembley Arena and that put him firmly back on track. Winning each of his six bouts since that sole loss, Charlie has picked up British, WBA Continental and WBC world titles, the latter coming courtesy of a 12-round points decision over Nicaraguan Cristofer Rosales in December at the 02 Arena. Another bold move but it was one that paid off and he was entered into world champion company with winning margins of four rounds, eight rounds and six rounds. Convincing stuff and it was completely deserved following a punch-perfect performance.
Fight fans were impressed, as were bookmakers who have moved swiftly to price the current holder up as favourite to defend his honour. Backers will find no better than 1/33 on an Edwards win and although that’s far too tight, it’s better than the 1/100 you’ll get with most firms. That shows just how confident the money men are that Charlie will come good again and continue his fairytale. There’s more to be had in the method of victory market where punters will get 2/9 at Bet365 about another win on the scorecards, 3/1 for a KO/TKO – both quotes taken from the Bet365 website.
