Saturday night is packed with fight action from around the globe as Las Vegas "Wiseguy" Vegas Runner breaks down both cards and releases three free boxing picks below. Our trip around the globe takes us to the Lanxess-Arena in Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany for the WBA Super World Middleweight Championship and to the Family Arena in Saint Charles, Missouri, United States for the WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship.
WBA Super World Middleweight Championship (Lanxess-Arena, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany)
Felix "Leonidas" Sturm comes in as the favorite at -500 ($500 bet to win $100) against the challenger Matthew "Mack The Knife" Macklin who is listed as a +300 ($100 bet to win $300) underdog. Right now at 17-3 in boxing and MMA premium selections, Vegas Runner urged earlier in the week to jump on Sturm at -300. Macklin is a second tier fighter but has a huge fan base in Europe, which is one of the reasons he is being placed in this fight. Sturm should finish the fight in the middle rounds, but if not will cruise to an easy decision.
Free Boxing Pick: Felix "Leonidas" Sturm -500
WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship (Family Arena, Saint Charles, Missouri)
Bermane "B. WARE" Stiverne is a Haitian fighter now based out of Las Vegas and comes in as a -225 favorite and is being primed to showcase a card on HBO. Ray "The Rainman" Austin is basically a tune-up for Stiverne and will be merely a punching bag and comes in as the underdog at +185. Bermane will highlight his skills and is primed to win this one and become an HBO fighter and further advance his career.
Free Boxing Pick: Bermane "B. WARE" Stiverne -225
Light Welterweight (Family Arena, Saint Charles, Missouri)
Devon "Alexander The Great" Alexander returns to boxing after a loss and despite this is still listed as the favorite at -210 in front of his hometown fans. Lucas Martin Matthysse is considered one of the strongest punchers in the division but is listed as a +170 underdog. Alexander can make this an easy night if he sticks to trying to box and not make this a slug-fest.
Free Boxing Pick: Devon "Alexander The Great" Alexander -210
