'The Problem' is the clear pick with Oddschecker punters ahead of New York bout
Adrien Broner is the pick of Oddschecker punters ahead of his super-lightweight clash with Mikey Garcia in New York this weekend. ‘The Problem’ is the 5/2 outsider as he takes on the unbeaten, three-weight champion from California. Despite those odds, some pundits believe Broner, who is 33-2 with 24 of his wins coming from KO, can cause the undefeated Garcia plenty of problems.
Still only 27, Broner himself is a four-weight world champion and former foe Paulie Malignaggi believes Broner could turn Garcia ‘crazy’ at the Barclays Centre on Sunday morning UK time.
Punters too feel bookmakers have underestimated the American with a massive 73% of all bets placed on the fight for a Broner victory. The Cincinnati fighter is 13/2 to win the by decision and the same odds for a knock-out with bookies obviously convinced that if the fight does go the distance there can be only one winner.
Garcia is a best-price 4/9 to win the contest and 11/10 to win by decision with a knock-out in the sixth, seventh or eighth round the most likely time for a stoppage at 22/1
