Boxing betting fans could have a mismatch bout to wager on this Saturday night when Amir Khanand Lamont Peterson battle for their WBA Super Welterweight and IBF Light Welterweight titles. Oddsmakers at the Bodog Sportsbook should have the moneyline action heavily handicapped on Khan when they post the boxing odds later in the week.
WBA Super Welterweight champion Khan (26-1) will enter this fight coming off an impressive KO win over Zab Judah this past July, and barring a shocker he should out-class Peterson in every aspect of the fight. The Olympic silver medallist looks to be in the prime of his career and should have little difficulty adding Peterson’s IBF Light Welterweight strap to his waist.
Expect a price of over -1000 at the Bodog Sportsbook on Khan in this one. That may seem expensive but Khan has looked invincible over his last eight fights. Barring a freakish KO Khan should cruise to victory via unanimous decision.
Peterson has never been stopped in his boxing career but he does have a history of coming up short in big fights. A decision loss to Timothy Bradley and a recent draw with Victor Ortiz have taken the shine off Peterson’s career, and now he has to step into the ring against even stiffer competition in Khan.
Peterson does have 15 wins by KO including a 12th-round dramatic finish over Victor Cayo in his last fight. If you think that puncher’s chance could pay off on Saturday night the Bodog Sportsbook will likely have Peterson listed as a +900 underdog or more. We’ve seen stranger things happen in the ring over the years.
Check the Bodog Sportsbook later this week for all your boxing betting odds for the Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson fight.
