Will it be speed or power for this British co-main event on Saturday? That is the question but it seems like the boxing betting odds have an answer and it leans on the latter. That is Andrew Cain, the reigning British & Commonwealth bantamweight bruiser of a champion. While Charlie Edwards is quicker and slicker, it may come down to who wants it more and our money is on the heavier hitter.

2 Best Prop and Round Betting Picks for Cain vs Edwards

1. Cain (-330) Can Outlast and Break Edwards Down

On paper, Cain versus Edwards is a clash of styles. Cain is more of a plodding aggressor. What he lacks in fleet-footedness, he makes up for with his power. Despite weighing 116 pounds, Cain has rare one-punch power. And he uses it freely. Edwards, on the other hand, likes to move around much like his brother, Sunny.

“He’s a bit GB-ish [amateurish]. I’ve seen that style over and over again. I don’t believe he’s got anything that’s going to cause me any problems on the night,” Cain told Ring Magazine. “I wouldn’t be surprised if I get him in the first, to be honest.”

That is a bold prediction, as only John Riel Casimero, a three-division champion, has been able to do it, per Cain vs Edwards stats. But we don’t doubt Cain – 12 of his 13 wins have come via KO and all within the first six rounds.

Laying -330 on Cain is a hefty price, but he is the better boxer here. There may be some sneaky value on Edwards as the +240 underdog. After all, we can argue he’s quicker and more technical. But he also does not have the same pop in his punches.

Additionally, we question Edwards’ dedication to the sport. He talks big but we’ve seen him broken before. He may have early success against Cain. But the favorite will bite down on his mouthpiece and see it through. We can’t say the same for Edwards. Bet Cain to win in your boxing picks.

2. Cain Wins Via Stoppage (-150)

Look to the boxing prop bets for a KO win from Cain. We see this fight playing out either with Cain finishing Edwards or the latter “dancing” his way to a contested decision. Cain is a heavy-handed lad and could finish Edwards with the first clean punch he lands. This is not just to the head but to the body as well.

Of course, Edwards is already talking smack about bringing in the only man to beat Cain: Ionut Baluta. However, this was a questionable split decision as Cain knocked Baluta down twice in the first round, per boxing news. The Romanian is big and has an underrated resume, having beaten TJ Doheny, who is fighting for the belt in the main event and gave Michael Conlan a run for his money.

You can teach technique but power tends to be a gift, which is something Cain has in spades. We like betting on heavy hitters like Cain. And thanks to boxing futures bets, we can bet Cain to land a KO at just -150.
