Ryan Burnett vs Zhanat Zhakiyanov Fight Preview

Strengths

Burnett has been able to cope with boxers who have a come forward approach and a straight line punch. Zhakiyanov has a lot of ruggedness which makes him a tough fight for any opponent.

Weaknesses

Burnett has so far shown little weaknesses in his game up until now. However, he has not been able to get victories by a substantial margin in recent times. One of the big weaknesses for Zhakiyanov is dropping twice even against a relatively low punching boxer like Rau'shee Warren.

Ryan Burnett vs Zhanat Zhakiyanov Prediction

Even though this match is likely to be an extremely tough affair for Burnett, the 25-year-old can be backed up to come out successful by the closest of margins. He is certainly the better player, and after having won his IBF Bantamweight World Title two months ago, his form has been increasing.

Ryan Burnett vs Zhanat Zhakiyanov Betting Tips

The match sees Burnett coming in as the overwhelming favourite. He has had a strong run of form, but he is up against a strong opponent in the form of Zhakiyanov. Even though the 33-year-old had a few slip ups in the recent fight against Warren, it is highly anticipated that he will be able to come up with his best. There is a great possibility of Zhakiyanov starting the fight in a slow manner, but he is expected to come up with a solid fight just as he did with Warren. The 33-year-old has suffered just one defeat in his career and it was back in 2008. Our boxing tips back Burnett for a win.

This match has a strong possibility of going into stoppage prediction. Our betting tips also expect that Burnett will be coming in with a strong match. However, Zhakiyanov is not a slouch and has displayed the ability of getting back at his opponents. Yet, he has also shown that he can be hurt with some high volume punches. Burnett may be targeting this exact aspect, but our betting tips would recommend this game going the distance, so over 7 rounds is a good pick for those seeking longer odds.
