Alimhanuri vs Mihajlovic
Date Time: Friday, July 11, 2024 at 10:00 PM ET
Alim Khanulli with KO power
Alimcanuri's greatest appeal is his knockout power, with 10 knockout wins in his 15 fights.
The Kazakh fighter is coming off a TKO win over Vincenzo Gualtieri in October last year and a spectacular knockout win over Steven Butler prior to that, both of which are good indicators of his performance.
There's a reason he's a champion. Boxing gambling The market sees his chances of winning as extremely slim.
At odds of -1800 there isn't much value, but the chances of winning by knockout are higher and that's where bettors find value.
This is not the fight he wanted. He wanted to fight Erislandy Lara, who holds the WBA title.
“Lara has the WBA title, you wonder? Why is he not interested in the other two titles? I can fight him anywhere,” said Alimqahnuri. “Why don't middleweights go for titles like me? What's the point of holding one title? I don't understand. I need two more titles!”
It won't be easy facing the New Zealand-Russian boxer Mikhailovic, who is unbeaten but has never faced an opponent of the calibre of a betting favourite.
Odds for Alimhanuri vs Mihajlovic It's expected to be a one-way street, with the title fight having the shortest odds at -1800, with Alimkhanuri winning by knockout being the most popular choice at -600.
Big Underdog's Kiwi Power
Mikhailovic was born in Russia but the Auckland native is looking to continue the New Zealand boxer's good record.
Following in the footsteps of former world champion Joseph Parker, Mihajlovic deserves a chance to win the title, but he will need to produce the best performance of his career to do so.
The 26-year-old has been extremely busy throughout his career. Boxing Results I’ve had good results against much easier fighters.
He's 21-0, with 13 wins by knockout, and is ranked in the top 25, but like many title challengers, he has yet to face anyone worth mentioning.
This is an obvious concern for bettors who were intrigued by the +800 odds, with him being heavily underdogged by the champion.
“He's a human being, a man with two arms and two legs,” Mihailovic said. “He's a good boxer, but I'm a good boxer too.”
“I know who I am and what I'm trying to do. I came from nothing and I'm at the top. That gives me a lot of confidence. I've achieved a lot in my life. I'm proud of who I am.”
We love watching boxers fight for two world titles and unbeaten records.
He won by first-round knockout over a 39-17 fighter, but prior to that he had defeated Edison Saltarin, 16-0, in Oakland.
The lack of a big fight will be a disadvantage for him, as this fight will be in Las Vegas, where the bright lights will be much different than what he's faced before.
He has a chance to be a puncher. Odds for Alimhanuri vs Mihajlovic That's accurate.
Champion scores big knockout
