Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder face off in today’s marquee boxing event at the O2 Arena in London, England. Wilder is a former WBC Heavyweight Champion, while Chisora has challenged for the title before.
Check out my best bet for Derek Chisora vs. Deontay Wilder at today’s MF Pro boxing card.
Deontay Wilder Moneyline (+150)
Chisora enters this game at 42 years old, while Wilder is 40. Both fighters have been long-time staples of the Heavyweight division. This event is titled “100” because it is Chisora and Wilder’s 50th fight each.
Wilder has the height (6’6″ vs. 6’1.5″) and reach (83″ vs. 74″) advantage in this contest over Chisora. Even though Wilder is younger and has more career accolades, Chisora is on a better current streak.
Chisora is a -190 favorite with Wilder being a +150 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 8.5 rounds with the over being -125. Even though Wilder is historically the better power puncher, Chisora is +135 to win by knockout, with Wilder being +210 to do the same. After lacking that intensity, Wilder seems to be back to the old version of himself who won the WBC Heavyweight title. I think Wilder will use his size advantage to his benefit in this contest. If Wilder is aggressive, it is unlikely that Chisora will be able to keep up with his pace and power.
