Odds as of Apr. 14
[promoted-sportsbook]The unbeaten champion is looking to jettison himself towards big fights with names like Canelo and Golovkin later on in the calendar year.
Conversely, Williams looks to actualize his dreams into reality while simultaneously putting the kibosh on Andrade’s climb and putting the first blemish on his pro record.
Demetrius Andrade’s Fourth Title Defense
Demetrius Andrade aims to make the fourth defense of his WBO crown this weekend. Boo Boo has maintained his hold on the gold since 2018.
This is Andrade’s first fight of the pandemic era as his last performance saw him score a ninth-round TKO over Luke Keeler in January 2020.
One of the most dominant and impressive 160-pound fighters on the planet, Andrade also has compelling prospective options that await him at 168 pounds too.
Andrade’s path to 30-0 leads him into this weekend’s pugilistic proceedings against a proven warrior out of the UK.
Liam Williams’ Path to a World Title
Liam Williams has captured a myriad of commonwealth, British, European, and intercontinental championships but has yet to capture that world title distinction.
His only career defeats are to former world champion Liam Smith with the first bout seeing Williams fall short of capturing the interim WBO super welterweight world title.
Moving up in weight since that failed title bid has clearly paid dividends for Williams who now finds himself challenging for middleweight gold.
This is the first time Williams will be fighting in America as a professional pugilist. William’s last prizefight saw him notch another defense of his British championship when he dispatched Andrew Robinson in the first round of their October bout.
Williams is riding a seven-fight win streak heading into this contest with stoppage wins across all of those bouts. In fact, Liam Williams has not won a fight on points since August 2013.
Liam Williams has only been halted once inside the distance. Still though, there is a degree of unpredictability with Andrade’s finishing power as he seemingly alternates between stoppages and decision wins between bouts.
Andrade vs Williams Tale of the Tape
| 29-0 | Record | 23-2-1 |
| 18 | Knockouts | 18 |
| 6’0 | Height | 5’10 |
| 73.5″ | Reach | Not Available |
| Vanes Martirosyan, Alantez Fox, Jack Culcay | Significant Wins | Gabor Gorbics, Gary Corcoran, Kris Carslaw |
| Southpaw | Stance | Orthodox |
Ultimately, I think Andrade gets the victory and secures a win where the judges play a role in the outcome. This contest is slated to go for twelve rounds, and I can see this bout encroaching towards that final bell.
The odds on this one going over 10.5 rounds are situated at -200, and I think that presents good value.
I would go with a prop bet on Demetrius Andrade winning via decision (-125) when Andrade vs Williams goes down.
Pick: Demetrius Andrade (-435)
