Sandy Ryan v Terri Harper Tips

Sandy Ryan - By KO, TKO or Disqualification @ 15/4

This weekend in Sheffield WBO welterweight champion Sandy Ryan defends her title against former super-featherweight and super-welterweight champion Terri Harper.

This is a fight where I think Ryan is rightfully a sizeable favourite at 2/7 to emerge victorious and retain her title, while Terri Harper is 11/4.

For me, I think this fight is going to be very interesting, albeit we've seen Terri Harper box at 154lbs and this fight is at 147, I do feel the 147 champion Sandy Ryan is the naturally bigger fighter.

Ryan has campaigned at 140 and 147 throughout her career, while Harper did start down at 130 and moved up to 154.

I do feel that Sandy Ryan has that nasty streak inside her, and I do think she'd going to want to go out there and put it on Terri Harper, who we've seen in the past doesn't really respond too well to too much pressure.

I did feel that Terri Harper was fortunate to emerge with a draw against Cecilia Braekhus last time out, and I just think that Ryan will be a little bit fresher and a little bit more aggressive than Braekhus was and ultimately get the job done.

For me, I'm going to be looking at Sandy Ryan by KO/ TKO at 15/4, but this is with the caveat that this is a women's world title fight so 10 two-minute rounds can be quite difficult to get the stoppage over those shorter sprints.

With that being said, the price for Ryan to win by Decision at 4/6 is one that's worth considering, but for me the extra value and bang for your buck lies with Ryan by stoppage at 15/4.
