Leo Santa Cruz vs Chris Avalos Fight Preview

Strengths

Leo Santa Cruz is very confident in his win after his win against Frampton, Frampton’s first loss in career. Chris Avalos is not in very good form because he has 3 losses in last 5 matches. All 3 were TKO’s.  Their reach is pretty much the same (175cm Cruz vs 173cm Avalos) which means we could have an interesting fight without physical handicap for any boxer.

Weaknesses

Avalos is less experienced than Cruz and that could be the key. He boxed 156 rounds while Leo Santa Cruz boxed 216. Cruz is very aggressive and that could take his opponent on the floor.

Leo Santa Cruz vs Chris Avalos Betting Tips

Outright odds are speaking for themselves, but they are too short to be picked. Leo Santa Cruz is a great favorite to win this fight and there is no doubt about the winner. Cruz's experience is likely coming to the surface quickly but if you don’t want to risk anything a win by technical decision is the right pick for you. That's because Cruz boasts a powerful strike and over 40% of his ten matches were won by decision. The odds might slightly increase on Cruz within the few days before the fight, but this seems to be the best pick as of now.

Cruz is in great shape and we think that he is going to send vulnerable Avalos to the floor early. In fact, Avalos went down in 3 of his last 5 fights. Avalos has 51% of his wins by KO or TKO but we think he has no chance to confront Cruz and get away with it. For those who are braver than others, the good pick could be a Cruz KO. As we already mentioned, an outright win is simply too low in terms of odds, and with Cruz's history of KO, this is a great pick. Let's not forget that he is considered a top talent in his division and is bound to play against Abner Mares in early 2018 for a potential Fight of the Year match if he wins here.
