Inoue vs. Cardenas Predictions and Picks: Bet Inoue by KO May 4 — Japan's Naoya Inoue | Philip FONG / AFP

Boxing odds have Naoya Inoue at -6000 against Ramon Cardenas, and it’s hard to envision the Japanese champion suffering defeat.

The Super Bantamweight title is on the line in Las Vegas and I have my best boxing picks today.

Top 2 Picks for Inoue vs. Cardenas on May 4

1. Naoya Inoue by KO/TKO (-900)

Getting -900 for Inoue to win by KO might seem short, but it’s much better than what he’s paying with ML odds. Betting on boxing is all about finding value, and the odds are well worth including in parlays.

Inoue is one of the best fighters in the world at 29-0, and 26 of his wins came by KO/TKO, per boxing betting tips. That’s an impressive record, and although Cardenas is a good fighter in his own right at 26-1, he’s not close to Inoue.

The 32-year-old Japanese fighter, nicknamed “Monster,” lives up to his moniker. He had an easy win over Ye Joon Kim, which followed two quality wins over TJ Doheny and Luis Nery. He beats all-comers and there is little chance Cardenas gets a chance to put much damage on the champion.

I would have been prepared to take around -1200 for Inoue to record a finish, and it should come early in the fight. He could win without barely getting touched, and he has experience fighting in Las Vegas, so that’s not a concern. If you want to know how to bet on boxing, take Inoue by KO/TKO and see how it’s done.

2. Under 5.5 Rounds (Ev)

It shouldn’t be a long fight on Sunday, so if you’re buying the PPV expecting your money’s worth, it could be a short night.

I’m locking in under 5.5 rounds. Although Cardenas has a good record, he hasn’t faced anyone like Inoue, and fighting for the title under the bright lights of Vegas could see him looking like a deer in headlights.

My boxing fight predictions have Inoue winning within the first five rounds. He needed only four rounds to dispatch Kim and he needed only two rounds to beat Nonito Donaire, who is one of the best fighters in the division.

A quick fight is a good fight for bettors, and Inoue should be backed with confidence.
