Topic: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - Nov 15 - page 8. (Read 1639 times)

Someone has released the odds already, and it seems that Takuma is the slight favorite, meaning it can go either way and perhaps bookies are putting him as a slight favorite before the venue will be in his home country and that he has the belt.

And I will say that it's no disrespect to Takuma, if his opponent is just a so-so fighter and then he become the underdog, then yeah, it could disrespectful to him. But Jerwin is no push over or just a regular boxer. He was once a champion at 115 lbs, and defended it 9x. And with that close odds between the too, maybe there might be some changes in the odds it could be that Takuma will be improved his odds, or supporter of Ancajas betting huge to close the gap or even become a slight favorite. We will see when the fight is near.

Indeed, it's almost 50/50 here so it means that either has a great chance to win, either Takuma to retain his belt or Ancajas with the strength of his experience and the heavy puncher here, might pull an upset and detrone Takuma in front of his home crowd.

Still months before the fight though, although there are odds already, but I still wanted to see the crypto betting sites that we are more familiar with. And perhaps just a ML will be suffice for us. Although there could be lots of betting options for those who wanted to risk more to win big. But if the odds are like 1.8x, good enough for a ML bet, in my opinion.

Great odds for both fighters as backers won't have to worry about the value they are getting. Getting 1.85 for the moneyline, at the very least, would be good enough if we are too confident in our pick. Whether it's Ancajas or Inoue who wins the fight, since fans are likely divided 50/50, it should be entertaining to bet on and watch a fight that is sure to be a close contest.

I like that odds in the beginning, meaning, it will be Jerwin Ancajas as a slight underdog.
So there could be value in our bets for Ancajas it, of course, it going to be change, but if he is the underdog, then ML will be a great bet already.
And as you have said, Ancajas is going to be motivated here, he knows what the feeling of being a champion already, and so he wants that respect again.
Although his opponent is not that good previously, still it's a moral boosting win for him.

There's no betting odds yes but this site below shows its early prediction of odds.

It makes sense, though, as Inoue is the champion, and the odds being very close are not surprising at all. As a fan, I just want to see a great fight, and I'm sure Jerwin is well-motivated to win because he wants to become a champion again. His last win against Wilner Soto is a statement that he has already recovered from two consecutive losses.

I think that's a big disrespect for Takumi because he is the current champion and will be fighting in front of his fans. He has all the advantages, and the only way for Ancajas to win here is to ensure he knocks out the champion. I'm afraid that if the fight is close, the judges will give the win to the defending champion.


He should be the underdog. I would bet against anyone who thinks he could be the favorite on the betting sites. Just shoot me a PM.

Or it could be that Ancajas might be the slight betting favorite as well? It's possible though as he used to be a great champion at 115 lbs. And as you show in the comparison, Ancajas the the experienced here as compare to Inoue who almost just half of the fights that Ancajas has throughout his career.

So for sure we will have to take that into considerations when we put our bet here. And if Jerwin become underdog, then it's going to be a good betting for us. If he becomes a betting favorite but slight only, then still very attractive even at ML.

I don't believe Inoue will be the heavy favorite; perhaps a slight favorite is a more realistic assessment. Jerwin Ancajas has already made a name for himself in boxing, and we should not forget that he was a champion before. His hunger to win is still evident, and, of course, we cannot ignore his skills.

Currently, we only have comparisons to rely on (https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/789558-inoue-vs-ancajas-takuma-inoue-vs-jerwin-pretty-boy-ancajas), as there are no betting odds available yet.

One notable difference is the experience factor. Ancajas has participated in 34 fights, whereas Takuma has only been in 18.

Ultimately, it's up to the fans to judge, as we all evaluate differently based on the factors we prioritize.

Although the odds aren't available yet, I've already predicted that Inoue will be the heavy favorite. We can't deny that the thrill of watching fights without Naoya is different, as most boxers in this division possess regular skills, unlike Inoue, who can truly dictate the pace by dominating his opponents. I've even watched some of his fights where his opponents hesitate to engage in the ring, fearing they might get hit and knocked out. So, even in what appears to be a one-sided fight, the excitement builds when Inoue's opponent faces the possibility of a knockout.

We're going to find out once the odds become available, but given that this fight is just under two months away, it's a bit early for betting odds on a match that isn't very well-known. No offense intended, this is a championship fight, but it hasn't gained much popularity, especially since Naoya (the brother of Takuma) left the division. It has gradually lost some of its appeal, and now we're paying closer attention to the super bantamweight division.

This is a fight that has fans split 50/50. There isn't a clear superior boxer in this matchup, not even the reigning champion. Jerwin has held the championship before, so he's no stranger to this situation. I'm confident he will give it his all, train diligently, and employ a smart strategy to regain his championship. In the bantamweight division, there aren't many vastly superior champions, so if Jerwin wins, he could find more success here, possibly even in an undisputed bout.

Yes, I agree, perhaps it was the circumstances that he became a champion. Because once his brother vacated the belt, Takuma is just around the corner of the division and so probably because he was the brother of Naoya he was given a chance to win.

But then again, it will have to defend his belt against the former champion Ancajas. Jerwin might have a good chance to win as Takuma is not well known to be a puncher like his brother. And Ancajas might have adjusted to 118 lbs already after his 9 successive wins at 115 lbs and most likely he had a hard time making that weight that's why he has back to back loses.

Indeed, his brother has to give him great advice, because he has more experience and has a vision of boxing that very few have, as I said, he has an advantage of coming from one of the DNA that I consider to be privileged, it is like the Filipinos, who I consider They have great DNA for this type of sport, because here in boxing what I think can be very decisive is the amount of intelligence that can be put into it, there is nothing else, obviously there is the resistance, there is the strength that can be have the boxer and more things can be done, the strategies that he can have, all that is what a boxer must consider one from the other, that is what the study is for, I know that many boxers will ignore this and concentrate only on their work , it is a good option, but it is not the most correct, it is an option that is not worth taking because I believe that when a boxer fights, he must do things well, try not to make mistakes, and that is what the videos are for, to study how It is his style, how he will make each step he takes truly have an effect on the boxer, all these things need to be considered, that is why I say that this sport is with Takuma, with Jerwin, they have to know how to do things, to My fight is won in training, the hardest training is the boxer who wins, there is no other option, I am not one of those who believe that extraordinary things happen, and even though they are very possible, I trust each person's work more.

Takuma must have a lot of his brother, he must be a calculating boxer, a boxer who, for example, partly Jerwin knows that he is from the Inoue and knows that he can also be a fighting genius, because fame is recognizable from the last name, in this case. order of ideas I will always say that the one who prepares the most, or who trains the best will be the winner, this fight will be interesting because it is a way to measure the strength of boxers who I consider good, and of boxers who want to win, who need to win, every fight Boxing of this style produces many emotions.

Let's expect that because I bet they are training under the same roof and Inoue, as an older brother, he will surely give some hints to his younger brother, Takuma, knowing that he will be needing it in his title defense because Jerwin is not that kind of boxer that can be cracked easily. Maybe they will watch some of Jerwin's fight to help them solve the problem, and Jerwin, knowing that he will be studied well, I hope he will be versatile on the ring so that he can be unpredictable because this is also his chance to be a champion again. Although defeating Takuma is not really a feat but he should do it because of the championship belt that is on the line.

Well, Takuma , I see that he is a very good boxer, of course he doesn't have the Genius that his brother has, but he is there, I think that with Ancajas he can make some of the difference, what we want to achieve, although to be honest and without me If there is nothing left inside, I would say that Ancajas is a high-class boxer, he has a very good boxing manner, he must also be in contact with his brother, perhaps some advice from his brothers that he does not like at all , because that makes the difference Also, there is also something that cannot be denied, which is their DNA and the Inoue is a total bomb, and I would think that irugal Ancajas should be careful, because if Takuma has the same discipline as his brother, well I would worry, because they are of those who train day and night, because as it should be, there is no other way in boxing, things should be like that, because if not the one who speaks out the most in his training, can be the winner, and I am one of those who believe that if the Let him have a harder training because he is the winner , in fact it is like that.

Takuma Inoue is one the strong boxer in his division and he is already proved that. But honestly speaking he won't be the same as his brother maybe he became a champion but like what they said above not just like his brother that can hold his belt for a long time , judging on his fighting technique and skills can be dedeated wiht a boxer has the speed of footwork and punches so for now lets stay tuned for the update and results for this fight as we all know that both fighter will prepare for this in order to give us a good fight.

Well, it is what it is. I cannot say that he is somehow unfortunate because people will keep on comparing him because he still have a chance to prove his worth in this division, people might not be convinced on how he became a champion but sooner or later, people will start to appreciate who he is if he will work harder and maybe in that time, he will not just an ordinary boxer but Takuma Inoue who worked his way out.

That is his reality, he might want to follow his brother's footsteps because that is the goal but he cannot do anything about it because fact is, he is not viewed as a threat in this division. He may be a champion now but judging how he fights in the ring and his record, I can say that he won't be holding these belts for a long time, what more if he thins about unifying all of it. Let's say for example that he ducked Ancajas in this case and chose to pursue the other champions, namely Moloney or Rodriguez, I think his chances will remain the same, only slim.

Talking about some siblings who are a professional boxers, Manny Pacquiao also have a brother named Bobby Pacquiao who was somehow successful in his path during his time but people are also comparing because they are both different from each other. Just like Takuma and Naoya, but in Pacquiao sibling's case, Bobby decided to step down much earlier to give way for Pacquiao and so that there will be no comparison.

I guess he can't do anything about it, the stigma will be there him and his brother being compared. It's not that first time though that we have seen brothers in boxing, we have the Charlo brothers as well, but only Jermell is the active one.

But to get out of that stigma, I guess what Takuma should do is to just fight and win, simply as that. Of course, he can set this goal to be undisputed, but it's going to be very difficult as there are a lot of great champions in this division. And unless he has the power like his brother, gonna be hard for him, just saying.
