Boxing explodes from its winter slumber as we move into February. It’s not a moment too soon for fans who had little to enjoy during a barren January that was only briefly brought to life by Manny Pacquiao’s impressive win over Adrien Broner in Las Vegas. It’s great to have the noble art back on our schedule and followers have some mouth-watering match-ups on Feb 2nd. Here are our top Eleider Alvarez v Sergey Kovalev betting tips.

British fans enjoy a double-header with bouts of note taking place on both sides of the Atlantic. In London, on Saturday night Ted Cheeseman aims to add another win to his perfect record when challenging unbeaten Spaniard Sergio Garcia at the 02 Arena, live on Sky Sports. A fixture involving two talented, ambitious men who will fight tooth and nail to protect the 0 currently standing in their defeats column. It’ll be one to enjoy and you’ll find an in-depth preview on the betting tips section of our site as we aim to mark the occasion with a nice priced winner.

Another Top Bout

When that one is done and dusted and the result is in the books, we then take our attentions to the Ford Center at The Star, Frisco. Fans’ favourite, Sergey Kovalev, takes part in what will be his 37th professional outing. The talented 35-year-old takes on Colombian Eleidar Alvarez over 12 rounds for the WBO world light heavyweight title in a bout that’s also a long-awaited rematch. Alvarez scored a surprise seventh-round stoppage win back in August before a shocked Atlantic City audience; as such, he will fancy himself good enough for more of the same here.

Bookies make this a 50/50

Bookmakers have had their say and offer Alvarez as favourite; however, there’s not a lot in it with the odds-makers preferring to stay out of the argument as best they can and allow punters to sort it out amongst themselves. This is about as close to a 50/50 in terms of pre-fight betting odds as you’re likely to find this year and that’ll catch the attention of value hunters, always on the prowl for an overpriced selection, poised to seize on any mistakes from the trading floor.

There’s certainly value to be found if working for it and any 50/50 fight is always a delight to preview from a betting perspective. We are lovers of the sport; however, our number one priority is helping you beat the bookies and turn a steady profit from your enjoyment. Play it right and we could all be paid for watching the big fight.
