The next big fight in the boxing world is set to take place this Saturday when Jaime Munguia takes on Sergiy Derevyanchenko.

Munguia is one of the best prospects in the sport, holding an undefeated 41-0 record ahead of this weekend's fight. He's now looking for a path to a shot at the super middleweight title and this weekend's bout against Derevyachenko will put him another step in the right direction. It will be his second fight at this weight class.

Let's take a look at the odds for the bout and then I'll give you my prediction.

Munguia vs. Derevyanchenko odds

The odds listed below are via DraftKings Sportsbook.

  • Jaime Munguia -650
  • Sergiy Derevyanchenko +425

Munguia is a sizable favorite for good reason. He's doing his best to climb the rankings but he continues to fight opponents who aren't going to give him much of a challenge.

Meanwhile, Derevyanchenko is on the wrong side of his prime. He has lost four of his last six fights and is coming off a win against a tomato can in Joshua Conley.

One thing he does do well is stay in the fight. In his four losses, he has yet to be finished. Even against Gennady Golovkin, he was able to force the fight to go to the judges scorecards.

So, if you want to bet on Munguia but you don't feel like laying the -650 price, consider betting on him to win via decision at +110. That way, you're getting a lot more bang for your buck.

Prediction: Munguia via decision +110
