Keyshawn Davis, following his brilliant work last time, is back to defend his title against a well-known opponent in Edwin De Los Santos. Yes, it’s the same De Los Santos who lost to Shakur Stevenson, albeit a competitive one. The betting lines for boxing favor Davis comfortably. But like Stevenson, he’ll need to reach into his bag to beat the challenger soundly. Here’s how this bout plays out.

Best Prop and Round Betting Picks for Davis vs De Los Santos

1. Bet Bout to Go the Distance

On paper, Davis should easily beat De Los Santos here. You’re not a 1/8 favorite against a legitimate contender for no reason. Davis is uber-talented and is pegged by many pundits as the best young boxer following Stevenson. Still, he’ll need the judges in this bout. The best boxing futures bet here is for a decision.

De Los Santos will give Davis all he can handle, even if he’s getting outmaneuvered. Here’s a fun fact: De Los Santos is younger than Davis. The Dominican is a sizable underdog even with the best boxing odds, but it’s not due to his physique. He is fast and is the harder puncher of the two. This combo will make him a tough out, even for Davis.

 

The champ gets better with every fight. He surprised everyone with a four-round KO of Denys Berinchyk less than four months ago. This newfound punching power has led to three finishes in his last four bouts, but Davis may take awhile against De Los Santos.

De Los Santos is durable and can survive a slugfest. But it won’t be one as Davis will be hard to pin down. On the flip side, the Olympic silver medalist will also find it tough to put De Los Santos away. As with the chalk boxing prediction, this bout goes all 12 rounds.

Bet Fight to Go The Distance – Yes (-175)

2. De Los Santos Can Shock the World

No thank you for betting Davis at -800. We’ll instead play the underdog at 5/1 even for just a little. The line had already tightened on De Los Santos, who opened around the +750 mark. The sharps see something in him as we do. Sure, he lost cleanly to Stevenson, but who doesn’t? He’s got enough “dog” in him for our boxing pick tonight.

Stevenson says that Davis’ “ring IQ” will win him the fight. That is, if Davis can respond under pressure. He has not been under the same spotlight or fought the same competition as Stevenson. So what happens when De Los Santos pressures him and makes him feel some power?

Maybe Davis will handle it with grace and box up a clinic. This is the likely outcome. But there is a better than an implied 16.7% chance that De Los Santos can keep Davis off-balanced enough that it leads to a close decision. Let’s look for a shocker with the latest boxing news on Saturday!
