Hurd vs Lara Betting Odds
Here are the betting odds from online sportsbook BetOnline.ag (full review here).
- Jarrett Hurd +110
- Erislandy Lara -130
My Pick
The 27-year-old Hurd enters the bout with a perfect record of 21-0 with 15 Kos, but he’ll be stepping up in class again by meeting Lara. Hurd turned pro back in 2012 and has 98 rounds of experience since then. He’s a former three-time Golden Gloves winner in Washington D.C. He’s managed to beat opponents such as Harrison, Trout, Ionut Dan Ion, Oscar Molina, Frank Galarza and Eric Mitchell, so he’s definitely facing his stiffest test as a pro in Lara. What Hurd has going for him right now though is better-than-average power with a knockout ratio of 71 per cent. He stands 6-feet-1-inch tall with a reach of 76.5 inches.
The 34-year-old Lara is a southpaw who now fights out of Houston, Texas. He climbs into the ring at 25-2-2 with 14 Kos under his belt. He’s elusive with a lot of boxing skills, but doesn’t have too much in the way of one-punch power as his knockout ratio currently stands at 48 per cent. He’s just 5-feet-9-inches tall and has a 74-inch wingspan so will give up three inches in height and 2.5 inches in reach too Hurd. Lara won the vacant IBO title by beating Delvin Rodriguez by unanimous decision in June of 2015. He won the interim WBA title in June, 2013 by stopping Alfredo Angulo in the 10th round after being dropped in the fourth and ninth..
As well as defending his titles against Yuri Foreman, Vanes Martirosyan, and Rodriguez, Lara also defended them against Ishe Smith by decision in December of 2012 and Jan Zaveck by third-round knockout in November of 2015. Lara’s two career defeats as a pro have been at the hands of Paul Williams by controversial majority decision in 2011 and a controversial split decision to Saul Alvarez in July of 2014. He also fought to a nine-round technical decision draw with Maritosyan in 2012 and a 10-round majority draw with Carlos Molina a year earlier.
Lara is an excellent technical boxer and his power may be a bit underrated. He’s often not the most exciting boxer around though and has boxed 187 rounds since turning pro in 2008. He also enjoyed an excellent amateur career in which he won numerous titles, including three straight national crowns in Cuba as a welterweight. He has a bit of an awkward style, but has become more fan friendly lately as he has begun to let his hands go and has starting throwing more power shots. He sometimes appears to be too good to be exciting as he can be dominant and hard to hit and that can lead to boring fights.
Prediction…
Lara has plenty more experience against top-level opponents and that will help him. He also has a solid chin and the better boxing skills. Hurd is more fan friendly and also has a strong chin, but he doesn’t have the skills to outbox Lara, so I’ll be looking for Lara to leave the ring with all the title belts.
Lara’s a bit too slick for Hurd.

On Saturday, May 11th, Top Rank Promotions presents an exciting night of boxing action as we get two thrilling rematches live from the Tucson Arena in Tucson, Arizona.

Berchelt is defending the very title that he took from Vargas two years ago.
In the co-main event of the night, WBO junior featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete will defend his belt against Isaac Dogboe in an immediate rematch of their fight last December. It was an action-packed battle that saw Navarrete come away with the UD victory.
The two main fights will air on ESPN and begin at 10 PM ET. The preliminary bouts will stream on ESPN+ beginning at 6:30 PM ET. Boxing betting sites have released their odds for this card. Let’s take a look at the betting lines, try to find any potential betting value, and KO our picks.

Isaac Dogboe (20-1, 14 KOs) vs Emanuel Navarrete (26-1, 22 KOs)
Hurd Vs Williams Odds
- Isaac Dogboe (+110)
- Emanuel Navarrete (-140)
In their first fight, Isaac Dogboe was a large betting favorite floating around a -1000 betting line depending on the sportsbook. As we all know, Dogboe ended up losing that fight via UD. For the rematch, Dogboe is the underdog for the first time since his bout against Magdaleno a year ago. In that fight, he was a +200 underdog and won via KO. The knockout victory catapulted Isaac onto the world stage.
Navarrete is a betting favorite in this fight. However, prior to their first bout, Navarrete mostly fought inferior opponents without any credible resumes. Both fighters offer betting value. Dogboe offers more value considering he’s the underdog.
Dogboe vs Navarrete 2 Preview
| Boxer | Isaac Dogboe | Emanuel Navarrete |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 24 | 24 |
| Height | 5’2” | 5’7” |
| Reach | 64” | 72” |
| Total Fights | 21 | 27 |
| Record | 20-1 | 26-1 |
| Knockouts | 14 | 22 |
Dogboe’s 2018 started off great with three wins and the upset victory over Jessie Magdaleno to capture the WBO super bantamweight title. Unfortunately, in his second title defense, Isaac lost via UD to Navarrete at the end of the year. It was Dogboe’s first career loss and he’s intent on getting revenge against Emanuel this weekend. Bad Left Hook reports that Isaac declares that he will KO his opponent this weekend:
Hurd Vs Williams Odds College Football
“At my lowest point, Emanuel Navarrete couldn’t knock me out. I’m now at the peak of my fitness. Navarrete is going down. The warrior is coming! NeHo! I’m coming to knock out Emanuel Navarrete! Emanuel Navarrete, I’m back to set the record straight!”
Dogboe admits that he underestimated Navarrete in their first fight, but he guarantees that he will “set the record straight” and give the fans something to talk about for a “very, very long time.”
Emanuel Navarrete hasn’t lost in seven years. At that time, he was just 17 years old and lost via UD in a seven round fight. Since then, Navarrete has put together a solid record with a winning streak of 21 straight fights. He first fought in the United States last December against Dogboe. Their rematch will also take place in the United States.
Despite that winning streak, Navarrete wasn’t well known to the mainstream and on a bigger stage. However, put on an impressive performance against Dogboe and announced his arrival. According to Boxing Scene, Emanuel is out to prove that the first fight wasn’t an accident:
William Hurd Bio
“I am ready to show the world that our first fight was no accident. I am the better fighter, and I will show that again. Dogboe made a mistake in taking this rematch.”
Will Dogboe Get Revenge?
Hurd Vs Williams Odds Ufc
Dogboe has all of the tools to win the fight. He’s more athletic, has a high boxing IQ and is a patient fighter. However, he is giving up five inches in height and eight inches in reach, which helped Navarrete to win the first fight. Additionally, Emanuel physically beat up Isaac in their first fight. It wasn’t a boxing clinic, it was punishment. Dogboe’s trainer believes that Isaac will have to do more than just box Navarrete. He’s going to have to show superior speed, stamina, and desire to win.
With how Navarrete looked in their first fight, it’s hard for me to think that Dogboe will be able to overcome Emanuel’s size, reach, and height advantages. This is a close fight, but I have to lean toward Navarrete winning via Split Decision.
Francisco Vargas (25-1-2, 18 KOs) vs Miguel Berchelt (35-1, 31 KOs)
- Francisco Vargas (+600)
- Miguel Berchelt (-1050)
Vargas comes into this rematch as a sizeable underdog after being the betting favorite in his last four fights including their first encounter. Vargas suffered the first loss of his career to Berchelt nearly two years ago. I do believe that Vargas offers some value and is worthy of a flyer. For Berchelt, he’s fought four times since the first battle between the two Mexican boxers. He was a large betting favorite in all four of those fights. I don’t believe he offers any value for this rematch.
Vargas vs Berchelt 2 Preview
| Boxer | Francisco Vargas | Miguel Berchelt |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 34 | 27 |
| Height | 5’8” | 5’7” |
| Reach | 70” | 71” |
| Total Fights | 28 | 36 |
| Record | 25-1-2 | 35-1 |
| Knockouts | 18 | 31 |
Their first fight was awesome. It was an incredible battle of two warriors. This time around, the fans, pundits, and fighters are expecting another “Mexican war” inside the ring.
Francisco Vargas is seven years older than his opponent. He also hasn’t fought in a year, which gave him plenty of time to rest and prepare for a rematch against Berchelt who Vargas has called out every chance he had.
Vargas has solid punching power and a willingness to brawl with his foes. He doesn’t run and hide. Instead, he’s ready for war and that’s exactly what these two fighters gave us in their first match. As Vargas has repeatedly said, Mexican fighters never back down:
“I have no doubt that 2019 will be my big comeback year. The three wise men came bearing gifts, and one of them is my highly awaited rematch against Miguel Berchelt on May 11. Like I said before our first fight, Mexicans never back down, and I will show that once again in the ring.”
For Berchelt, he’s defended the belt four times since their first match. He’s scored three straight TKO wins as well. Miguel was expected to beat all three fighters, which wasn’t the case in ‘part one’ of this Mexican saga. It’s been five years since Berchelt lost a fight and he was 22 at the time. Miguel has won 15 straight fights since his only career loss and he’s looking to extend that streak to 16.
One of the best things about this in-ring rivalry is that the two men have mutual respect and prefer to let their hands do the talking and not trash each other publicly:
“There will always be a rivalry, a sporting rivalry and that rivalry remains up there in the ring, I have nothing personal against ‘Bandido’ Vargas and I do not like to talk about predictions, I prefer that to speak my fists – but I would like to get the victory by knockout and in less than 10 rounds.”
Berchelt’s goal of winning in less than 10 rounds is very ambitious. It’s also one that I don’t think will happen. Vargas is too tough and motivated to not push this bout into the championship rounds.
Who Wins Part 2?
After watching their first fight, it’s hard to pick against Berchelt. He’s young and talented. He also has the power to put down Vargas in this fight. Oddsmakers feel that Berchelt is the clear-cut favorite. I wouldn’t go that far. I do believe Vargas has a chance in this fight. I believe he is worth a flyer. With that said, I’m taking Berchelt to win this fight via UD.
Will We See Berchelt vs Farmer This Year?
If Berchelt gets by Vargas this weekend, and I think he will, Miguel wants to take on other champions in his weight class:
“What I want is to defend my title and afterwards we will see, there are great champions like Masayuki Ito, there is Tevin Farmer, Gervonta Davis. There are times when, due to promoters, the fights are very difficult to make, but I will continue to show that I am the best 130-pounder in the world.”
If Berchelt truly wants to take on Farmer, then he won’t have to work hard to make that fight happen. Farmer has already lobbied via social media to take on Miguel later this year.

— TEVIN FARMER (@TevinFarmer22) May 6, 2019
That would be a highly anticipated unification bout if the powers to be can make it happen. Both fighters are interested, the fans will be interested, and I’m sure some TV or cable provider will also be interested. Could we see this fight on ESPN+?
Final Thoughts on Top Rank’s Night of Rematches
When I think about the potential of this card, I have to agree with what Top Rank Promoter Bob Arum said about the event:
“We’re all looking forward to this card. Berchelt-Vargas and Navarrete-Dogboe were incredible action fights the first time around, and the rematches will provide fireworks.”
I am definitely looking forward to this card. Both of these rematches will provide fireworks. Additionally, there’s betting value and potential upsets that could provide sports bettors with opportunities to make some money. With this event, and the Hurd vs Williams card on FOX, boxing fans are in for an exciting weekend of action. Did I mention that both of these cards are going to be free? Does it get any better than that?
