talkSPORT betting tips – Best boxing bets and expert advice on Floyd Mayweather v John Gotti III
08/24/2024 02:39 AM
Floyd Mayweather returns to the ring to take on John Gotti III in the early hours of Sunday morning and the bout features on a 12-fight card.
The exhibition clash between Mayweather and Gotti is a rematch of last year's contest, which ended in chaotic scenes.
Last summer's fight was called off in the sixth round and the premature ending of the contest prompted a mass brawl to break out.
The pair are now set to settle their feud in Mexico City, although there is no betting available on what is a novelty contest.

Tips
- Alan Picasso Romero v Azat Hovhannisyan to go the distance @ 4/6
The best betting opportunity on the card comes in the WBC Silver super-bantamweight clash between Alan Picasso Romero and Azat Hovhannisyan.
Romero is unbeaten in 29 professional contests, but it is not an unblemished record as the 24-year-old had to settle for a draw when tackling Martin Jimenez Delgado in 2018.
That contest has little relevance to the Mexico City clash against Hovhannisyan, but there is very little substance to Romero's record and offers of 1/7 look pretty short.
That's not to say that the Mexico City man won't have too much speed and output for Hovhannisyan, but it's unlikely that the 24-year-old will blow the Armenian away.
Hovhannisyan has lost four of his 21 career bouts, but two of those defeats came against former world champions in Luis Nery and Rey Vargas.
Nery is the only man to have stopped Crazy A, and while that will be on the Armenian's record, cuts played a major part in that stoppage with the 36-year-old having put up a good show in that contest.
Hovhannisyan has been out of the ring for 18 months since that defeat to Nery, which is a concern, but the Armenian would have needed time to heal from that bout and it's likely that Crazy A remains a tough and durable performer.
At the prices, taking the fight to go the distance looks the best play on the Arena Ciudad de Mexico card.
