Boxing Predictions: November
October was disappointing for boxing - I’m not going to lie. It was that disappointing, I didn’t even do predictions but October is coming to an end and now we look forward to November which is a great month for boxing, let’s get started.
November 3rd: Ryan Burnett Vs. Nonito Donaire
We start things off with one of the fights in the world boxing super series, this is in the bantamweight tournament. This is Nonito Donaire’s first fight back in bantamweight since 2016 and to be honest, this is better for Donaire as he suits the bantamweight division rather than the featherweight weight class. Donaire is fighting Ryan Burnett and this is a hard fight for Donaire, he’s fighting a guy who is 19-0. This is a tough fight to predict but I’m going to say Ryan Burnett by decision.
Prediction: Ryan Burnett (Decision)
Prediction: Ryan Burnett (Decision)
November 3rd: Josh Taylor Vs. Ryan Martin
I’m really excited for this fight for several reasons, it’s Josh Taylor on a big stage, it’s in the world boxing super series, I’m going to see this fight live (plus the previous fight) with Ben Mawson from the wrestling section and Cameron Dunn from the MMA section. We’ve been looking forward to this for a good while and it’s good to see Josh Taylor return to fight in Scotland. I might be bias here (because I’m also from Scotland) but I see Josh Taylor winning by TKO in the 9th round. Someone’s 0 has to go.
Prediction: Josh Taylor (9; TKO)
Prediction: Josh Taylor (9; TKO)
November 10th: Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Tony Bellew
This is going to be crazy. This is the biggest cruiserweight fight in the past 5 years without question. I hate to doubt Tony Bellew but how can you go against a guy like Oleksandr Usyk? I could possibly go with Bellew but I would be more confident predicting Usyk.
Prediction: Oleksandr Usyk (Decision)
