Before we diver deeper into the betting analysis, let us take a peek at both 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 is 43. “The Hornet” kicked down the door to international stardom in 2017, after defeating Manny Pacquiao in Suncorp Stadium to win the WBO welterweight title. Horn would follow up that victory with an 11th round TKO over Gary Corcoran in late 2017.
At 18-0-1, Horn was flying up the pound for pound best positions and looking like a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, he ran into one of the best in Terence Crawford and endured a TKO loss this past June. “The Hornet” is seeking to rebound from this fight and reestablish himself as a competition in the welterweight division. To do that, he will have to conquer a fighter that Jeff has admired for many years.
Don’t let Mundine’s age fool you. He’s still very capable of knocking outside Horn in this struggle since he will have 28 KO successes in his career. The former Australian rugby player has had a successful career since turning pro in 2000. Mundine has fought throughout several weight classes and never shied away from a struggle. “The Man” is a 2-time former WBA super middleweight champion and has gone toe-to-toe against some of the game’s elite such as Shane Mosley, who he defeated in 2013. Mundine won his final fight in January via 2nd round KO.
Who’ll Win the Fight?
Mundine is the two’s better fighter. And, if he was 5 years younger, then I believe he’d easily dispatch of Horn. Jeff will seem to come out and smother Mundine with his aggressive, unorthodox style. However, we all know that Mundine will be ready for this. The issue is whether Mundine still has the legs to go deep into the latter rounds. We know Mundine gets the heart as well as the chin to hang there and swap shots, but daddy time catches up to us all.
Mundine has talked the talk, which we have come to enjoy and expect. Horn was a little more respectful and passive of his opponent. However, that doesn’t mean that he won’t go out there and try to take Mundine’s head off after the bell rings.
Regardless of what the boxing gambling websites listed the odds at, I feel it will be closer than anticipated. With that in mind, Mundine in +433 is worth a flyer for those of you risk takers on the market. In front of 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. With a puncher’s chance, taking a flyer on Mundine is a reasonable option for those that bet on boxing.
However, despite the sentimental side of me wanting to see Mundine ride off into the sunset with a win in this struggle, you have to decide on the younger, more aggressive fighter in Horn. Unfortunately, his moneyline of -538 offers no worth and the small danger of him losing is not worth a bet.
