Kid Galahad’s Boxing Odds & Betting Outlook vs Martinez

Galahad aims to make the first successful defense of his IBF crown here.

He rebounded from his sole career loss, a closely contested points defeat to an elite, and now is in the driver’s seat with consecutive wins guiding his momentum.

Kid Galahad performs for his home city here on fight night. He aims to replicate a similar level of devastation that we saw in his title-earning effort in the Dickens rematch.

After capturing the vacant strap in August, Galahad looks to cement his place on top once more before the end of the calendar year.

This is the sophomore effort of the year for the champion while Martinez steps into the ring for his third bout of 2021.

The newly minted titleholder looks to maintain that grasp against a crafty and experienced vet within the sweet science.

Someone who has solid power to go with that fight IQ and deep resume.

Kiko Martinez’s Boxing Odds & Betting Outlook vs Galahad

Martinez has over fifty pro bouts to his credit and has been in multiple world championship contests through that stretch.

He was the IBF super bantamweight world champion and logged several successful defenses of that belt during his reign.

Many see this as Kiko Martinez’s last crack at a world championship. He looks to go back to back in a big way after his last win over Jayro Duran re-entered him into the win column.

Martinez stepped up in weight and had two bids at featherweight gold not pan out. He aims to showcase that the third time’s the charm this weekend and become a two-division world champion in the process.

Galahad is a few years younger than the seasoned contender and looks to adjust Martinez’s title bid record at featherweight to 0-3.

Kid Galahad vs Kiko Martinez Pick & Prediction

Ultimately, I think Galahad will be able to win over the distance.

I foresee the judges’ scorecards playing a role in the outcome of this one. Though Kid Galahad has back-to-back finishes, Martinez generally does not get stopped in his defeats and has shown durability against some top-of-the-heap guys.

Prop bets on this fight going the distance and Galahad winning via decision/points would present solid value and would be worth pursuing, in my estimation.

Pick: Kid Galahad (-1200)
