This weekend in the sport of boxing features another Sunday night card for Zuffa Boxing this time headlined by Andreas Cortes vs. Eridson Garcia. On paper it's a pick’em bout that will come down to who can execute. Cortes is unbeaten with better names on his career ledger at this point. Names like Abraham Nova, Xavier Martinez, Abraham Nova, & Luis Melendez stand out as quality foes.
Eridson Garcia has a 1st round stoppage loss to Jordan White. His best wins are probably William Foster and Taiga Imanaga by split decision. Eridson is a capable counter puncher, especially with his left hand. The southpaw Garcia has faster hands and good footwork. He’s a bit more versatile, but the key will be Garcia’s footwork. Staying on the move by circling and pivoting all the while setting traps to counter will be important to Eridson’s gameplan. How much can we take from Garcia being stopped in the first round? Getting caught cold early is somewhat common and doesn’t always equate to being chinny.
Andreas Cortes presumably will be the aggressor looking to cut off the ring and break down Garcia. Getting to the inside using a jab which Cortes should deploy more often. Also, body punching will be needed to slow down the always moving Eridson. Cortes will need to tighten up his punches as he has a tendency to get a little wild and inaccurate while power punching. All and all we should be in for a competitive battle on Sunday night.
As previously mentioned, the betting odds are razor close. Cortes was a slight favor but now hovering around –116 to +128. Garcia is slated around –116 to –175. Money line is the way to go on either boxer. This boxing podcaster placed a bet on Cortes at +113.
My Official Prediction is Andreas Cortes by decision.
