bet365's boxing expert Rob Tebbutt previews this weekend's WBA bantamweight world title showdown between Takuma Inoue and Seiya Tsutsumi and provides his best bets for the Yokohama-staged fight.
Takuma Inoue squares off against Seiya Tsutsumi in Tokyo on Sunday morning in a well-matched contest for Inoue’s WBA bantamweight title.
Though Inoue, the brother of pound-for-pound king Naoya Inoue, enters as a decent sized favourite to retain his title, I feel there is some value on the heavy-handed underdog Tstutsumi to spring the upset.
Tsutsumi has been matched tough in his 13-fight career and I feel his punching power and work-rate could be enough to edge Inoue over the twelve round distance, much like former WBC bantamweight champion Nordine Oubaali did back in November 2019.
