Check out my best bet below for Mark Magsayo vs. Andres Cortes.
Andres Cortes Moneyline (-115)
Cortes enters this contest with an undefeated record of 25-0 with 13 wins by knockout. He made his debut for the new promotion at Zuffa Boxing 5 in April, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Eridson Garcia. Magsayo also fought on the Zuffa Boxing 5 card as he beat Feargal McCrory by fifth-round knockout. Since suffering back-to-back losses against Brandon Figueroa and Rey Vargas, Magsayo has won five consecutive bouts.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Cortes is a slight -115 favorite with Magsayo being -110 in this contest. This contest has an over/under of 8.5 rounds, with the over at -280. Cortes is +160 to win by decision, while Magsayo is +225 to pick up the victory on the judges’ scorecards.
Although Cortes is slightly taller (5’7″ vs. 5’6.5″), Magsayo has the reach advantage (67.5″ vs. 65″) in this fight. Although Magsayo is more powerful, he has struggled when facing the next level of competition in the past. Even when the opponents have gotten tougher for Cortes, he has always risen to the moment up until this point. If Cortes can display good defense early in this contest, he should be able to find success.
