Shannon Courtenay Boxing Odds and Betting Analysis

Shannon Courtenay looks to notch the first successful defense of her WBA belt. She aims to extend her win streak to three since rebounding from the lone loss of her pro boxing career.

Courtenay was expected to fight Rachel Ball, that lone opponent to beat her as a pro, earlier in the calendar year. This was prior to Ball falling out after testing positive for COVID 19 forced her out and presented an opportunity for Mitchell. Ball beat Courtenay as a +195 underdog in the boxing odds.

Courtenay is a heavy -425 favorite in the boxing odds ahead of this weekend’s bout as well. Will Mitchell have a chance as the boxing betting underdog in this spot like Ball had?

The Baby Face Assassin went the full ten rounds in her last fight for her first championship outing as a pro.

This sophomore ten-round clash for Courtenay comes against a warrior who steps into the ring for their first professional foray slated for ten rounds.

Jamie Mitchell’s First Pro Title Shot

Jamie Mitchell has a solid 66 percent stoppage rate overall and is undefeated as a professional pugilist. She is training at the renowned Mayweather Gym and is galvanizing herself in a space that has been frequented by many champions prior to the American’s first pro world title bid this weekend.

Still, Mitchell is also 36 years old and has never bested an opponent who possesses a winning record in her professional bouts so far.

Her nickname is The Miracle though, and for good reason. Mitchell is no stranger to overcoming the odds and seemingly insurmountable adversity throughout her life.

Courtenay is the taller individual, will presumably be able to manage the range well, and has a better resume overall.

Conversely, Mitchell seems to have a touch more KO power which is reflected in the fact boxing odds as they favor a KO or TKO as her likeliest path to victory (+600).
