Miguel Marriaga vs. Mark John Yap: Insider releases best bets on Thursday's Top Rank card
Boxing insider Peter Kahn, who was nominated for Manager of the Year in 2019, just released his picks for Thursday's nationally televised Top Rank card.
Three-time world title challenger Miguel Marriaga goes for his fifth straight knockout when he fights Mark John Yap on Thursday in a 10-round featherweight bout from Las Vegas (8 p.m. ET, ESPN). Marriaga is a -2400 favorite, with Yap getting +1120 as the underdog. In the co-feature, lightweight Felix Verdejo is a -450 favorite over Will Madera (+310).
Before you bet, you NEED to see what Peter Kahn has to say. A 2019 Boxing Writers Association of America Cus D'Amato Manager of the Year nominee, Kahn has his finger on the pulse of what's going on inside and outside the ring. Kahn manages nearly 10 percent of Top Rank's fighters, and he can be seen and heard weekly as co-host of "The Fight Guys" show on FITE TV.
Not surprisingly, Kahn is uncanny when it comes to picking fights. He is a perfect 12-0 on SportsLine boxing picks since the hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, including a 5-0 sweep this month that extended his highly profitable run.
Last year in the heavyweight division, Kahn called Deontay Wilder knocking out Dominic Breazeale in the first round, a massive 22-1 long shot bet. "Based on everything Wilder has expressed leading up to the fight and his true dislike and beef with Breazeale, expect Wilder to come out and try to get rid of him early to make a statement," Kahn told readers. The result: Wilder ended it at the 2:17 mark with a violent one-punch knockout, and everyone who followed Kahn's advice cashed huge.
One week ago, Kahn told readers to back heavyweight Carlos Takam as a small favorite over Jerry Forrest, and Takam cruised to a unanimous decision win. It was Kahn's 12th straight winner.
For Thursday's card, Kahn has released VERY confident picks on Marriaga vs. Yap and Verdejo vs. Madera. He's gunning for 14-0, so you'll want to see his picks and analysis before you bet.
