The WBO middleweight world title is on the line in this contest with Alimkhanuly and Bentley assuming the roles of champion and challenger, respectively.

Janibek Alimkhanuly’s Betting Outlook vs Bentley

Alimkhanuly has gone unbeaten across his first twelve contests as a professional and looks to make the first defense of his WBO world title here.

He was elevated from his interim title holder status when previous WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade vacated the belt to move up to 168 pounds.

The 2016 Olympian has parlayed his stellar amateur successes into being one of the most avoided world champions in the sport based on how formidable Alimkhanuly is.

Alimkhanuly has put together finishes in his last six straight contests and aims to showcase the “Qazaq Style” that he proudly displays through his nickname.

This is a man considered by many to be the current best middleweight in the sport.

But Bentley has a chance to turn the weight category upside down and send ripple effects through the division.

Denzel Bentley’s Betting Outlook vs Alimkhanuly

Bentley is a two-time British middleweight champion but looks to now claim a world title at 160 pounds. He has rebounded soundly from his lone professional defeat and has put together a multi-fight streak that punched his ticket to this title shot.

He is not intimidated by Alimkhanuly the way that much of the weight category seems to be and seems confident in his chances to shock the boxing world on fight night.

Both have capable finishing abilities, to say the least, and both have relatively similar physiques.

But the superior competitive resume of the champion and the unique southpaw angles he brings will shine through in this championship clash, I think.

Janibek Alimkhanuly vs Denzel Bentley Prediction

This prizefight is scheduled for twelve rounds, but I do not see the judges playing a role in the verdict of this one.

I think there’s good value in pursuing prop bets on Alimkhanuly winning via KO or TKO, and I forsee the champion retaining his gold with a victory between rounds 1-3.

Pick: Janibek Alimkhanuly (-2500)
