The best plants on Taylor-Serrano 3, Shakur-Zepeda and others
Published

Katie Taylor will try to make 3-0 against Amanda Serrano, when they meet on Friday at the undisputed Taylor welterweight championships in Up-to-date York Garden Madison Square Garden (Netflix, 20:00 ET).
Taylor won the first fight in April 2022 made by a divided decision and continued her unanimous win in the rematch in November last year. Both fights were very close, which caused calls to fight the trilogy.
In the co-main event of Alycia Baumgardner defends his undisputed juniors of lithe championships against Jennifer Miranda in a very engaging duel with an early finish.
On Saturday at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Up-to-date York Edgar Berlanga will face Hamzah Sheeraz in the fight for a super medium weight (Dazn PPV, 17:00 et). Berlanga won his first 16 fights in the first round, but he has only two KO in the last eight fights.
In cooperation with Shakur Stevenson, he places his lithe WBC title on the line against William Zezedie in the fight against the weekend.
With Serrano a petite favorite in her fight with Taylor, and Baumgardner is the biggest favorite on the All-Women card, where is the best value for Bettorów? Stevenson is another great favorite and knowing his style, a certain plant lies in the fact that the fight will go to the decision. But is this the best plant?
The bookmaker expert Espn Ian Parker breaks the best fights on both cards and offers guidelines.
Katie Taylor (+160) vs. Amanda Serrano (-200)
Despite entering 2: 0 in the fight against Taylor with Taylor, Serrano sits as a favorite bookmaker almost 2-1. The first fight was very competitive, and in the second Serrano she had moments when she hurt Taylor, but she couldn’t close her. With another opportunity to finally win in the next epic duel, Serrano will want to operate two clear advantages that he has over Taylor: her power and pace.
There are many ways to find values in this fight.
1. I am on the side of Serrano in this fight, but if the price -175 is a bit high for your preferences, take it to win by decision -110. As powerful as Serrano, and even with his ability to hurt opponents, in Taylor stands a warrior whom he demands and durability is almost unmatched.
2. Because Serrano is known for its power, there are several props that have great value and are worth playing. Even as strong as Taylor is almost 40 years ancient, so I would say that in Taylor is fallen (+350).
3. If you are on the Taylor side, the Money line is +140. But if you are lucky, take Taylor to be knocked down and continue to win (+2000). This is certainly not outside the field of possibilities. Taylor could have been dropped early, but Serrano straightened the rest of the road.
Alycia Baumgardner (-3500) vs. Jennifer Miranda (+1200)
How to get any value from Baumgardner who should not have a problem with Miranda and is the biggest card favorite? The only way to put yourself in this fight is to win Baumgardner based on the decision -190 or KO/TKO in +165. I think the value is in the KO/TKO requisition. Baumgardner should have an advantage everywhere in this fight, and she wears a decent KO (7 KO in 15 fights). She should not have a problem with pressure, overwhelming Miranda with a immense volume and ultimately landing with a knockout. I am surprised that we get such a number for KO/TKO for the defending master.
Savannah Marshall (-550) vs. Shadasia Green (+375)
Marshall is another great favorite because he sits in -500 against Green. This line is too wide, because Green is a threat to its power and speed, and considering that Marshall is fighting for the first time in two years. However, Marshall has an advantage of experience and consistently fought with high-level competition, including Claress Shields and Franchon Crews-Dezurn. And he is a generally better boxer. Until Marshall is caught early by Green’s power, I would look for the bookmaking line -500, Parlaying Marshall to win by -120.
Edgar Blangka (+110) vs. Hamzah Sheeraz (-135)
At the age of -135, I think we get a very good number for Sheeraz, because it always accepts aggressive and risky Berlanga. There is no doubt that Sheeraz is a better boxer, but he must avoid Berlang’s explosive attack, which he brings to every fight in the first round. This and all fights along the way are Berlang’s paths to victory. If Sheeraz manages to master, he should be able to survive an early storm and take control as the fight continued. Because Berlanga notoriously disappears in the fighting later, there are several ways to put this fight.
1. -135 Moneyline for Sheeraz. This price is so low that you can comfortably set it up without stressing the victory method.
2. Sheeraz by KO/TKO in +325 is a great number for a warrior with great power and a immense fuel tank, against a warrior who releases and loses shine as the fight continued.
3. Fight so as not to pass the distance in +105. If you do not want to focus on the site because of how close it is – and rightly so – betting on the finish in plus a chance is a great way. We know that Berlanga will choose KO, which is a chance, and if he does not get it, it can run out to such an extent that Sheeraz can end it later in the fight.
Shakur Stevenson (-1100) vs William Zepeda (+650)
About -1100 Stevenson is the biggest favorite on the Saturday card, and if you watched it long enough, you know that the price for winning it with the decision will not be inexpensive. However, at -200 I don’t hate it. Zepeda is a knockout (27 KO in 33 fights), so I expect Stevenson to defend himself and win with his great style and point point, never exposing himself to the risk, and therefore without choosing KO himself. If you want better value, take Stevenson to win by decision and fight for a distance in +105.

Tony Bellews Bold KO Prediction for Dubois vs Wardley 2: Yep, I Said It

October 17, 2026
Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.
The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.
After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.
Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.
It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.
Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.
“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”
Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.
Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.
Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.

Peter Fury Shares Final Thoughts on Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley 2: I Still Think That

October 17, 2026
Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.
Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.
In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.
Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.
Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.
Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.
As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.
“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.
“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.
“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”
If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.
