Odds as of June 2nd

This is a compelling crossroads fight for both men who have encountered certain setbacks and only one can overcome recent adversities in this contest.

Daniel Dubois’ Return From Defeat

This is going to be a very telling performance for Dubois. Daniel Dubois is returning from his first professional defeat, and it came in devastating fashion to Joe Joyce.

The heavyweight warrior had won 15 straight fights and had a near flawless knockout rate prior to the loss. But Joyce was able to break Dubois’ orbital bone and halt him in the later rounds of what was a competitive affair.

It will be intriguing to see the improvements Daniel Dubois has been able to make since that setback in November. Especially with the backdrop of adding in new trainer Shane McGuigan to his preparations.

The former British and Commonwealth title holder had also been collecting international and European hardware. Dubois again finds himself in a scenario where world championship gold is up for grabs.

Daniel Dubois has a noted level of respect and awareness for Dinu’s skills. But he is coming into this one looking for a highlight reel KO that will reignite all of the positive rhetoric around his heavyweight rise and overall potential.

Bogdan Dinu’s Quest for Interim WBA Gold

Dinu is by no means a warm body put in there to get Dubois back on track. This is a dangerous enough test as Dinu is the #2 ranked heavyweight per the WBA rankings and boasts an overall record of 20-2.

Bogdan Dinu won his first 18 fights straight and has only lost to notable ranked competitors like Jarrell Miller and Kubrat Pulev.

He is fighting to become the first Romanian heavyweight champion, and this seems to be galvanizing Bogdan Dinu’s resolve even further leading into this Dubois fight.

This contest is scheduled for twelve rounds, but considering the respective knockout rates of both, I do not see the judges playing a role in the outcome of this bout.

Dubois’ aforementioned knockout rate is nearly perfect, but Dinu also has a notable finishing rate of eighty percent.

There are prop bets surrounding this contest not going the distance (-700) and Dubois winning via KO or TKO (-600). Both of these props present good value in my estimation.

I’m a little uncertain on going with any specific round group betting props because I feel like we may see a more measured analytical Dubois after the damage sustained in his last fight.

A technical and cerebral warrior but one who I still think will secure an emphatic stoppage.

Pick: Daniel Dubois (-3300)
