Coyle vs. McKenna Fight Preview

Strengths

Coyle has the experience having fought 151 rounds compared to just 60 for McKenna. Coyle is a former WBC Silver International lightweight champion and has challenged for the Commonwealth lightweight and British super-lightweight titles so he has experience in big-time bouts. On the other hand, McKenna has familiarity with Coyle, having sparred with him in the latter's preparation for the Campbell fight. McKenna will be fighting in front of his hometown crowd.

Weaknesses

Coyle is facing confidence issues having suffered two losses in his last four fights. Coyle is coming up in weight for the light welterweight match whereas his opponent is coming down from welterweight. McKenna lacks any major experience fighting top British talent.

Tommy Coyle vs. Tyrone McKenna Prediction

Quite frankly the oddsmakers may be off on this one. Sure McKenna is fighting in front of his home crowd and carries an undefeated record but he really may not be the better boxer – at this point in his career anyway. Coyle is the visiting fighter, but talent travels and you should look at this price as a gift. Our boxing betting tips expect an underdog win from the Coyle Corner.

Tommy Coyle vs. Tyrone McKenna Betting Tips

On paper, this seems like an easy fight to pick as McKenna has never been beaten and he fights in front of his hometown Belfast crowd. To be honest, the list of fights in McKenna's portfolio really isn't that impressive, however. The two undefeateds he beat in a row on the 5th of November 2016 and the 10th of March 2017 had a combined 9 fights between them. Prior to that McKenna took on opponents such as 53 loss Arvydas Trizno and 102 loss Kevin McCauley. Coyle may be moving up in the weight class, but at least he's established. Two fights ago he went 12 rounds before losing by decision to Tyrone Nurse for the British super lightweight title. He TKO'd Rakeem Noble back in February in a lead-up to this bout. McKenna has been calling out for months for some of the top British talents to take him on – and he's gotten his wish.

Both players have been involved in plenty of fights where the encounter went the distance. There are high chances that we will see the fighters in all rounds, and the price for this market at Unibet is very promising. In addition, even though McKenna plays in front of his hometown crowd, Coyle is seen by many as an underdog and will put on a spectacular, dramatic show trying to overcome this. We see value in this pick, especially for those looking for higher odds.
