Ryan Burnett is 19-0 with 9 KO’s. He’s 26 and the WBO Super Bantamweight champ. He has good reflexes and should be nicknamed “The Cobra” as he likes to stick his neck out as he rocks back and forth waiting to strike. He tends to throw one punch at a time and holds his hands low causing him to be hit himself. He has awkward foot movement and jumps back to avoid punches with no side to side movement. He’s willing to mix it up but lacks punching power.
Nonito Donaire is 35 years old and in the twilight of his career. He’s 38-5 with 24 KO’s and has been KO’d once himself by Nicholas Walters. He’s a real pro and last fought Carl Frampton for the Featherweight title. He’s a past champion but tends to lose to A+ fighters. He’s a southpaw and likes to counter punch. He has very good power in each hand with a good left hook. He likes to march forward with little side to side movement.
Prediction:
Donaire needs to lose 7 pounds to get down to 117 for the fight. After the weigh in, Donaire will hydrate and by fight time have a significant height & weight advantage. Burnett is a 10 to 1 favorite which is crazy as this is a competitive fight. Expect Burnett to pose & pot shot as Donaire stocks him and looks to counter. I doubt that Burnett will KO Donaire, so if you like Burnett to win, bet him to win by decision. Taking Donaire at +800 is a good hedge to betting Burnette by decision or a straight up value pick. I also like the over 9.5 rounds prop.
