Felix Cash vs Connor Coyle: Felix Cash Will Be Supported by Almost Everyone

• 10-round contest for the WBA Inter-Continental middleweight title
• The performance is every bit as important as a result at this stage
• Connor Coyle is an undefeated fighter from Ireland

Following days of controversy, including an alleged failed drug test from one of the headline acts, Conor Benn, it has been a rollercoaster for fight fans. But the show must go on, and Eddie Hearn for Matchroom Boxing promotes an exciting card from the O2 Arena in the docklands area of London. It promises to be a thrilling evening filled with competitive contests, and we preview the best below.

Conor Benn fights Chris Eubank Jr in a top-of-the-bill brawl to settle a score that started before they were born. Chris Eubank Snr and The Dark Destroyer Nigel Benn treated UK boxing fans to pulsating rounds in a professional boxing ring. Now it’s time for their sons to continue that family feud. But which gladiator will end victorious and claim the bragging rights for their father and fans? 

Eubank Jr is the hot betting favorite with all major online bookmakers. Caesars Sportsbook – one of the biggest names in sportsbook gambling – offers pre-fight betting odds, allowing registered members to make predictions and place bets. Eubank can be backed to win at odds of -225 while Benn trades at +200, and the draw is +2000. We are backing the market leader to win on points with a cracking contest in the pipeline.

Eubank Jnr v Benn may be the main attraction, and it will be a great contest, but we’re focusing on an undercard bout that caught our eye. Felix Cash faces Connor Coyle in a 10-round contest for the WBA Inter-Continental middleweight title, which is currently vacant. This much sought-after ranking title will push the winner into contention for bigger and better belts for bigger and better prize pots. It’s a chance for one man to launch their career to the next level.

Who will that be? As you can see from the above betting table displaying the pre-fight betting odds, Cash is the firm favorite with traders working at the Caesars Sportsbook. He has been priced like losing isn’t an option, and we find it difficult to argue against the bookies’ stance. Yes, this is professional boxing, and anything can happen at this level. We have seen it many times before, with the sport’s recent history littered with famous shock results. Will Cash vs Coyle provide us with another upset? It’s possible, of course, but not likely.

Cash will attract, by far, the most attention during the build-up to this contest, with all the smart money coming for the bookies’ pick. The odds in the fight-winner market are too short for most to have a play. He is razor thin, which means you have limited choices on how to play this one if you are determined to stick with the fight-winner market. You can back Cash for a huge stake, play the draw for a small amount of cash or take a pop at the underdog causing an upset in London. But there’s another option, and we’ll discuss that next.

The bookies have got this one perfect, and we agree that Cash is the man to beat here. Anything near his best performance will be enough to see him secure the win, and we’ve seen nothing from him so far that would suggest he’ll give anything less than another big performance. Each time we see Felix in the ring, he impresses. That’s especially true on the big occasion. He loves fighting under pressure.

Cash travels to the venue on fight night with a professional record detailing 15 wins from as many starts, with 10 of those victories coming inside the distance. He made a winning debut at this venue in the summer of 2016 and has progressed in every bout since. You will now find the Englishman ranked number two in the United Kingdom and squeezed into the top 10 in the world. The only man ahead of him domestically is Chris Eubank Jr. The fighter on top of the global rankings is Gennady Golovkin.

With Triple G losing the trilogy with Saul Alvarez in Las Vegas recently, it’s possible he will now retire. But at 40 years old, even if he does hang around the middleweight division, it won’t be too much longer. That will create a vacuum in the division, one that the top 10 fighters want to fill, including Cash. He must put on a show here to stand any chance of achieving that. Victory is essential, and the performance is every bit as important as a result at this stage.

Felix Cash vs Connor Coyle Prediction

We know Felix Cash has the backing of the bookies, and he will be supported by almost everyone inside the venue on fight night, such is his class, skill and popularity with the UK boxing public. But what does Connor Coyle bring to the table and does he have a better chance of winning than his huge price suggests?

Nothing is guaranteed in this game, but we know one thing for sure, Coyle is here on merit and will duck between the ropes on fight night believing he has the beating of his big-name opponent. Connor is an undefeated fighter from Ireland with an impressive 17-0-0 record, but with a lowly 41% knockout average.

He is a skilled orthodox boxer who relies on his speed, boxing IQ, and footwork to impress the scoring judges. He aims for more of the same in London on the biggest night of his career. Coyle has a style that will catch the eye and he’s sure to be competitive in the opening exchanges. But we are backing Cash to win on points at +125 on the Caesars Sportsbook betting app.
