Impatiently waiting for the French Open odds<\/a> clash between Federer<\/span> and Nadal<\/span>? Don’t worry\u2014there’s lots of fun boxing betting to do this weekend. Check out these intriguing matchups<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Andre Berto<\/span> (24-0) vs<\/span> Juan Urango<\/span> (23-1-1)
<\/span><\/b>Boxing odds<\/a>: Berto<\/span> -350, Urango<\/span> +275<\/p>\n

Can tough guy Juan Urango<\/span> take the next step forward in his boxing betting career? He’s certainly an exciting fighter\u2014a street brawler type who walks forward and opts for flurries of heavy punches instead of calculated strikes. He may be biting off more than he can chew against the polished Berto<\/span>, though. Berto<\/span> is a disciplined, technically sound fighter who simply doesn’t make many mistakes. While he may not have faced anyone as aggressive as Urango<\/span> before, he can adapt and wait for his openings. Urango<\/span> has the power to catch Berto<\/span>, but that probably won’t happen. <\/p>\n

Sportsbook online pick: Berto<\/span> -350<\/p>\n

Nikolay<\/span><\/b><\/span> Valuev<\/span> (50-1-1) vs<\/span> Ruslan<\/span> Chagaev<\/span> (25-0-1)<\/span>
<\/span><\/b>Boxing odds<\/a>: -115 for both fighters<\/p>\n

In a battle for the undisputed WBA<\/span> heavyweight title, seven-footer Nikolay<\/span> Valuev<\/span> faces the only man to ever beat him, Ruslan<\/span> Chagaev<\/span>. Given the 11-inch height difference between the fighters, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out each guy’s strengths and weaknesses. Valuev<\/span> has immense power and dominates when he corners smaller opponents, but he’s slow as molasses. Chagaev<\/span> is quick and flashy and does have power, but he’ll be hard pressed to really hurt a man of Valuev’s<\/span> stature. There’s one crucial difference from the first Valuev\/Chagaev<\/span> fight that could tip the boxing odds in the big guy’s favor; Chagaev<\/span> is one fight removed from completely tearing his Achilles, so it remains to be seen if he’ll have the same quickness as before (and he didn’t look great in his first fight back).Valuev<\/span> may capitalize and bludgeon Chagaev<\/span> with body shots and uppercuts. <\/p>\n

Sportsbook online pick: Valuev<\/span> -115<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
