Check out my best bet for Viddal Riley vs. Matuesz Masternak below.
Eridson Garcia Moneyline (-145)
Garcia suffered his first career loss against Jordan White on August 2o23 but he has since won six consecutive contests. He recently handed Taiga Imanaga his first career loss. Cortes is coming off a knockout win over Derlyn Hernandez-Gerarldo in October 2025.
In this contest, Garcia is only one inch taller (5’8″ vs. 5’7″) but has a six-inch reach advantage (71″ vs. 65″). Cortes has recently fought primarily at Super Featherweight, and this is his first fight at Lightweight since 2021. Garcia is ranked No. 37 in BoxRec’s Lightweight rankings.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Garcia is a -145 favorite with Cortes being a +115 underdog. The over/under for this fight is 8.5 rounds, with the over being -330. Garica is +140 to win by decision, while Cortes is +250 to pick up the victory on the judges’ scorecards.
Garcia has the edge in this contest as he has found success at Lightweight and should be able to control Cortes with his significant reach advantage. If Garcia can avoid Cortes’ power shots, he should be able to find success the longer the fight lasts.
