This is a title unification bout at 108 pounds with Kyoguchi and Teraji entering the ring as the WBA and WBC junior flyweight titleholders, respectively.

Kenshiro Teraji’s Betting Outlook vs Kyoguchi

Teraji logged eight successful defenses of his WBC belt during his first reign with the hardware.

After losing the championship, he avenged his lone professional loss in an instant rematch to regain the WBC strap and even up his series with Masamichi Yabuki.

Teraji and Kyoguchi have a history with one another in the amateurs with the former besting the latter on multiple occasions (going 3-1 over Kyoguchi in the series).

Both have grown tremendously since and are now regarded as the best in their given weight category worldwide.

Teraji looks to kick off his second WBC title reign by dispatching his familiar foe and handing Kyoguchi his first-ever loss as a professional pugilist.

Hiroto Kyoguchi’s Betting Outlook vs Teraji

Kyoguchi has won world titles in two weight categories having previously captured the IBF strawweight title and making multiple title defenses.

He then moved up to become the lineal junior flyweight champion where he has since made four successful title defenses.

Each fighter has its own unique attributes with Teraji being more of a calculated, range-minded fighter while Kyoguchi generally favors a pressure-heavy, inside-fighting sort of style.

For both participants, oddsmakers favor a decision victory more than a KO or TKO win materializing. I understand this line of thinking and believe that the prop bet centered on this bout going the distance (positioned at -195) presents solid value.

Kenshiro Teraji vs Hiroto Kyoguchi Prediction

This prizefight is slated for twelve rounds, but who will get their hand raised when all is said and done?

I think the prop bet on Kyoguchi winning via decision (+140) presents good value in this rare unification contest in this weight division. Despite Teraji’s aforementioned competitive edge in the amateurs, I feel like Kyoguchi has improved a touch more over the years and that will show on fight night.

Pick: Hiroto Kyoguchi (-195)
