According to Betting World, the chances of the IBO world junior flyweight title bout between Hekkie “The Hex-ecutioner” Budler and Juanito Rubillar ending on a knockout are highly unlikely! Indeed, the 21-year-old Budler is a long 33-1 shot to stop his more experienced Filipino rival in the opening round and anywhere between 22-1 and 20-1 to turn the trick in the next six rounds. If you happen to fancy the South African to win a 12-round decision, Betting World are offering 22/10 on Budler.

Conversely, the 32-year-old Rubillar will fetch 50-1 to win on a first round knockout and 40-1 to halt Budler in either rounds 2 or 3. The odds on Rubillar winning the contest on points have been set at 7/2 while fight fans can get 22/1 on the bout ending as a draw.

Tommy “Tommy Gun” Oosthuizen is a 1/12 favourite to beat his WBA Pan African super middleweight challenger Thomas Owinbono, while the comparatively unknown Ghanaian is a far-reaching 7/1 underdog.

Heavyweight sensation Flo “The Demolition Man” Simba is clearly expected to knockout his opponent Stephen Castle, since the bookmakers have installed Simba as a 1/7 choice in comparison to Castle’s odds of 4/1.

Hard fighting Jason “Badman” Bedeman will enter the ring as a firm 13/20 fancy over his challenger for the vacant WBA Pan Africa lightweight crown, Bilal Mohammed, whose on offer at 12/10 and WBA Intercontinental bantamweight champion Tshifhiwa Munyai is fancied at 1/14 on over Daniel Ferreras, who has been installed as a rank 8/1 underdog.
