Joseph Diaz to win (+350)

A warm welcome from our team to the month of December, and it promises to be an action-packed few weeks as the top fight game promoters in the United States, United Kingdom and further afield rush to cram in a few more big fights before breaking for Christmas and New Year.

As Devin Haney takes on Joseph Diaz for the WBC world lightweight title over 12 rounds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, we open with a bang. This venue is famous for hosting some of the sport’s biggest fights and will provide the backdrop for another bout that will keep those in attendance and the millions watching around the world on the edge of their seats throughout. Who will come out on top here and set up a big 2022, moving closer to a money-spinning bout with the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko or Ryan Garcia? We’ll get the answer to that question this weekend.

Diaz is currently ranked second in the world at lightweight behind Lomachenko, with Haney currently occupying fourth, but all that will change at the end of this bout. As a fight fan, it’s exciting to see the best fighting the best in the most popular divisions, and it appears the COVID enforced break may have encouraged fighters, managers, and promoters to get a move on and give fans the fights they want to see. Long may it continue.

Devin Haney vs Joseph Diaz Predictions

Haney was always going to be favorite for this fight, and he deserves to be, but it was a surprise to see just how strongly the traders are backing him. They have sent out odds that encourage bettors to take a shot at Diaz, and that’s exactly what we are going to do. The underdog is an outsider in the betting alone. He has the skills to compete at the highest level and is capable of performing much better than his pre-fight betting odds suggest.

We know how good Haney is. He enters with a 26-0-0 record, with a dozen wins coming inside the distance. He beat Linares on points last time out, holds the WBC title, and at just 23 years old, he’s considered by many to be the future of the lightweight division. But he still has some improvement to do, and there’s more to come from The Dream.

Diaz is no stranger to pulling off shock wins, and he is the more experienced of the two fighters involved in this bout, carrying a 32-1-1 record. The only man to beat him was Gary Allen Russel Jr back in 2018. Since then, he has won six and drawn one. His betting odds tell us he doesn’t have a chance of victory here, but that’s unfair. Diaz has the skills to push Haney hard and is worth a bet at the odds.
