Beneath 9.5 rounds (+120)
Before we delve deeper to the betting analysis, let’s take a look at the two combatants.
A Glance at Both Fighters
At age 30, Jeff Horn (18-1-1) is the younger of the two boxers, but every bit as dangerous as his counterpart Anthony Mundine (48-8) who’s 43. “The Hornet” kicked down the door to global stardom in 2017, after beating Manny Pacquiao in Suncorp Stadium to win the WBO welterweight title. Horn would follow up that success with an 11th round TKO over Gary Corcoran in late 2017.
At 18-0-1, Horn was flying the pound for pound best rankings and looking like a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, he ran into one of the very best in Terence Crawford and endured a TKO loss last June. “The Hornet” is looking to rebound from this struggle and reestablish himself as a contender in the welterweight division. To do that, he will need to defeat a boxer that Jeff has admired for several years.
Don’t let Mundine’s age fool you. He’s still quite capable of knocking out Horn in this fight since he will have 28 KO successes in his profession. The former Australian rugby player has had a successful career since turning pro in 2000. Mundine has fought several weight classes and never shying away from a struggle. “The Person” is a 2-time former WBA super middleweight champion, and it has gone toe-to-toe against some of the sport’s elite such as Shane Mosley, who he defeated in 2013. Mundine won his last fight in January via 2nd round KO.
Who’ll Win the Fight?
Mundine is the two’s better boxer. And, if he was 5 years younger, I believe he would easily dispatch of Horn. Jeff will seem to come out and smother Mundine together with his aggressive, unorthodox fashion. However, we all know that Mundine is going to be prepared for this. The issue is whether or not Mundine still has the legs to go deep to the latter rounds. We all know Mundine has the heart as well as the chin to hang in there and swap shots, but father time catches up to us all.
Mundine has talked the talk, which we have come to appreciate and expect. Horn was a little more respectful and passive of his competitor. But, that doesn’t mean that he won’t go out there and try to take Mundine’s head away after the bell rings.
Despite what the boxing betting sites listed the chances at, I believe it will be closer than expected. Bearing that in mind, Mundine in +433 is well worth a flyer for those of you risk takers out there. Facing 50,000 rabid Australian struggle lovers, Mundine has got the soul and heart to turn back the hands of time and pull off the upset. Having a puncher’s chance, taking a flyer on Mundine is a sensible option for those of you that bet on boxing.
However, despite the sentimental side of me wanting to watch Mundine ride off into the sunset with a win in this struggle, you have to decide on the younger, more aggressive fighter in Horn. Regrettably, his moneyline of -538 offers no value and the small danger of him losing is not worth a wager.
