Quite a few of you followed my tip for Charles Hatley to beat Anthong Mundine, some managed to even get a price as high as 4.00.
I have another tip at around 3.00. For the Hatley fight I was 80% confident hence the big stake bet. For this one I'm about 65/35, so it's not a lock by any means.
I will however be putting £100 on it, not that I recommend anyone stake that, that's just what I'll be doing.
The fight is Yudel Jhonson vs Daquan Arnett.
I had mentioned Hatley training with and being quite close to Mayweather, Arnett is another guy who has previously trained with Mayweather and is also quiet close to him. He's on the up, only 23 years old but I like his style and can see him doing well in his career.
This will 100% be his biggest step up as he takes on former Olympic Silver medalist Yudel Jhonson. Truth is, Jhonson hasn't faced anyone that big a threat besides Willie Nelson until his last fight where he faced Jorge Costa and lost a deicison. Jhonson isn't a one punch knockout boxer but he does have a nice straight left and as you can imagine, being Cuban and an Olympic medalist, he is technically skilled. So far, at 34 years old it looks certain he'll never compete with the top fighters in the division.
Arnett has a lovely lead left hook like Mayweather. He used it well when he floored Miguel Zuniga with his back against the ropes counter-punching. He has also beaten Dashon Johnson as many of you will know from his poor UFC stint. Is this fight a step up for Arnett or for Jhonson? 100% the step up here is for Arnett but I believe Jhonson is the perfect fight for him to show what he can do and take that step up.
I think he'll take the decision.
Daquan Arnett @ 3.00 - £100 stake.
