Lamont Peterson vs Errol Spence Jr. Betting Tips

The biggest advantage of Spence Jr is the strong power which has seen him achieve a whopping 86% KO record. He has been able to combine this with deadly accuracy. The southpaw may lack the experience of Peterson, but he surely has the quality required to come out in much better shape from this fight. A victory for Spence Jr can be backed in this fight and it's the most probable outcome. Spence Jr knows this is going to be a tough one, as he said "I believe this is going to start out as a boxing match, but as we march on, it is going to be a dogfight". Spence Jr's stats and fighting power are simply no match for Peterson, who showed his lack of defence in 2015 against Danny Garcia. That might have happened two years ago, but he only fought twice since then.

Peterson has suffered just one knockout defeat in his career and it shows the strong chin possessed by the 33-year-old. Yet, the strength of Spence Jr is a different element. He has won 19 of his 32 wins by knockout. A surprise pick would be to back Spence Jr with a knockout win. Spence Jr's last eight fights all ended with him winning by KO or TKO. The lack of form might cost Lamont Peterson the fight, and this is definitely the right pick for those looking for better odds.
