Nikolay Valuev and Ruslan Chagaev will battle in Finland while in Florida, bettors will examine the Berto Urango odds. The sportsbook has Berto as a big favorite, and as long as he sticks to his game plan, he should be in control for the win.
Berto vs Urango odds: Berto -330
- Berto is a very disciplined fighter
- Urango is a straight-ahead brawler
- Berto will outbox Urango if he sticks to his game plan
The Berto Urango odds will present the traditional battle in boxing we’re all familiar with: Berto will box while Urango will fight. Urango is a brawler and he’s is going to tap-dance around the ring and look for openings. He’s going to walk straight into the fire, and if there isn’t one yet, he’ll start one. The Berto vs Urango odds will be contingent on how Berto responds to this type of pressure.
So far, Berto has proven to be a rising star in the sport, as the Haitian has dealt with everything that has been thrown his way. But Berto Urango betting handicappers will have to keep in mind that he hasn’t faced anyone who brings this type of fight – someone who is constantly looking to engage. Usually, brawlers like Urango will look for the home run and swing for the fences, so Berto should have more openings to box Urango than usual. In a typical fight, Berto might have to outwit a boxer. In this case, he just has to avoid any big hits from Urango and take advantage when he gets sloppy.
The sports betting line for this match has Berto favored heavily in this fight for exactly that reason. When you boil it down, Urango needs to land either a big hit on Berto’s chin or break him down with steady pressure. But Berto is far too disciplined to let either of those things factor in. Urango fights better than he boxes, which will be the difference in this fight. The Berto Urango odds have the more skilled, poised fighter favored, and as long as Berto sticks to his guns, he’ll be in control the whole way.
