Kenshiro Teraji vs Ricardo Sandoval Preview
Boxing fans are in for a midweek treat as Kenshiro Teraji vs Ricardo Sandoval headlines at the Yokohama Buntai in Japan on Wednesday afternoon for UK fans.
The Japanese unified champion is widely regarded as the best flyweight in the world, and looks to further cement his position as #1 at 112-pounds with a win over the highly-rated Ricardo Sandoval.
Despite never winning a world title belt, Sandoval is undoubtedly one of the best flyweights in the world and one of the top contenders. He will be seen as an underdog in this fight, but will no doubt have his backers too.
The lower weight classes are dominated by Japanese fighters right now. The likes of Naoya Inoue, who boasts a $7m net worth, and Junto Nakatani, who has his sights set on an all-Japanese clash with Inoue in his next fight, are both pound-for-pound ranked fighters as of today.
Kenshiro Teraji is another fighter from Japan who currently dominates his weight class. He has the WBC & WBA World Flyweight Titles, and will be looking to add the rest at 112-pounds before perhaps moving up in the next 12-18 months.
However, before he can dream of becoming undisputed or winning a world title in another weight class, he first must get through the big-punching American that is Ricardo Sandoval on Wednesday afternoon.
Huge ramifications for the flyweight division on the world stage this Wednesday from Yokohama, Japan as two of the best 112-pound fighters go toe-to-toe for Teraji’s unified world title belts.
Teraji vs Sandoval Betting Tips
Judging by the latest odds with the best boxing betting sites, it is clear that Kenshiro Teraji is the pre-fight favourite to successfully defend his unified world flyweight titles and beat Ricardo Sandoval on Wednesday, July 30.
He is the established champion, #1 in the division and fairly high up the pound-for-pound boxing rankings as well.
However, here at SportsCasting we are going against the hometown hero and firm favourite by predicting a Ricardo Sandoval victory as our betting tip.
Having won 18 of his 28 fights via knockout, the American is evidently a big puncher down at flyweight. He could well need to win via stoppage in Japan too, with the scorecards perhaps lopsided in favour of the home fighter on occasion, as is frequent around the world in boxing.
However, we can see this fight going the distance with Sandoval getting the nod on the three judges’ scorecards. The 26-year-old is just short of 3/1 to win outright, but is priced as big as 6/1 to win on points.
That is how we see this fight playing out with Kenshiro Teraji losing his world title belts as Ricardo Sandoval silences the Yokohama crowd to become world champion for the very first time in his career.
SportsCasting’s boxing expert prediction: Ricardo Sandoval to WIN via Decision @ 6/1
