Anthony Cacace vs Josh Warrington Predictions & Betting Tips
The Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois fight is not the only exciting boxing match taking…
Undefeated Londoner Ted Cheeseman takes on a massive test. He’ll be sharing a ring with unbeaten Spaniard Sergio Garcia at the 02 Arena, Greenwich on Saturday 2 February, live in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Let’s check out the best Ted Cheeseman v Sergio Garcia betting tips.
It’s a chance for the local lad to catapult himself up through the super welterweight rankings with the EBU European title on the line; however, he’ll get nothing for free against an opponent who has been over course and distance more than a few times before. Bookmakers have Cheeseman nailed down as favourite for the result. Having said that, he must prepare to be tested in every round and given a difficult night’s work in front of a packed house.
Traders may have set up in support of the Londoner; however, they have afforded Garcia the respect he deserves, meaning there’s plenty of value to be found. If planning to watch the bout you may fancy adding a bit more excitement to the occasion with a bet and there are certainly no lack of options. Have your say on fight winner; method of victory; total rounds; the clash to go the scheduled 12-round distance or not, and plenty more besides.
Struggling to pick a punt that suits you best? Our team of former professional boxers and sports betting experts have put their heads together and come up with a play they think is worth having at an attractive price. This will be the first big night of British boxing this year and we’re determined to mark the occasion with a pay-out.
Ted Cheeseman has been super since making the decision to trade a successful amateur career for the paid ranks. He made his professional debut in the summer of 2015 with second-round TKO win over Hungarian Gabor Ambrus at this very venue on the undercard of Anthony Joshua v Gary Cornish. This talented 23-year-old has now pushed himself into title contention on the back of a run of impressive wins.
The 5ft 10inch orthodox won six of his first seven by stoppage and earned what was his first title – the English crown – in only his ninth start. He downed Matthew Ryan (14-1-0) before the end of the third, knocking his opponent to the canvas twice before referee Bob Williams stepped in.
It was glaring obvious from the way he handled himself on the big occasion Cheeseman would continue his progress; he did just that when banking the WBA International strap less than a year ago. This was achieved thanks to a wide points win over well-travelled American Carson Jones, a man who has now fought 60 times and pushed Kell Brook close when dropping a 2012 majority decision at the Sheffield Arena for the IBF world welterweight title.
The form fighter settled a grudge match with Paul Upton in Bethnal Green next time out in thrilling fashion, winning inside four. He then beat the highly-rated Asinia Byfield on points at the Copperbox last time to earn himself the Lonsdale.
It’s easy to be impressed by what Ted Cheeseman is doing and it seems like he still has a few gears to go through yet. He boasts a good amateur pedigree, is grounded and seems delighted to go the traditional route, beating the best the domestic scene has to offer before setting his sights on European level opposition.
Traders are desperately keen to side with Cheeseman. Bet365 show that to be true by offering him at no more than 2/5. That’s plenty tight but, given his recent results, it’s also understandable. Some bookies have the same bet at 4/11.
Those after more can pick through the method of victory market where they’ll find another points win for Cheeseman as favourite with Bet365 offering a market best price of 6/4. The KO/TKO – what would be the 10th of his career in 16 starts – can’t be easily overlooked, especially with a chunky 11/5 there to be shot at, 2/1 the general feeling at the time of writing. The latter looks a more attractive bet and it’s one we’re happy to have our stake money on, expecting Ted to pass another major test with flying colours.
