Dillon Lacking KO Power
Despite being 13-0-1, there are some concerns about the record of 28-year-old Brit Dillon.
The London-based fighter has been winning the majority of his fights by decision, and with only three wins by knockout, he could lack the power needed to beat Bellotti.
His tactic will likely be to outscore Bellotti, so it might not matter. However, the +105 underdog might be overvalued.
The super featherweight comes off a split decision win over Qais Ashfaq, which was only a two-star fight. He looked good throughout the fight, knocking down Ashfaq in the fourth round.
His most recent knockout win was a TKO victory against 3-1-2 fighter Marcus Hodgson, which isn’t anything to write home about. Hodgson’s corner threw in the towel, so he technically wasn’t able to knock him out.
Dillon vs Bellotti boxing odds have him only at +105 because Bellotti has five losses on his record and Dillon is unbeaten, but when looking at the records, Dillon might need to improve significantly to win.
Bellotti Bringing the Boom
Despite being ranked lower than Dillon, Bellotti’s record stands out a little more on the page.
It could pay to overlook his losses, three of which came consecutively from 2019-2021. He took on tough fighters throughout the Covid era, and it didn’t do his record any good.
He has taken some tough fighters close, including Ryan Walsh in 2018. He lost by split decision, and his boxing calendar has been busy since.
After losing three on the bounce and having serious doubts about his career, the 33-year-old got back to work and knocked out Dean Dodge in the seventh round.
It restarted his career before beating Youssef Khoumari and Aqib Fiaz. His win over the previously unbeaten Fiaz is why Dillon vs Bellotti boxing odds have him favored to win.
We thought he could have been shorter with betting markets, but it should be a close fight regardless of who wins.
Bellotti clearly has more power. He owns 14 wins by knockout, and he often lives up to his “bomber” nickname. He’s also getting a lot of respect from Dillon.
“Reece was one of my favourite fighters growing up,” Dillon said. “I remember doing an interview years ago and I remember saying that Reece Bellotti was my favourite domestic fighter. He’s had a few losses but he still probably is one of my favourite fighters.”
Back Bellotti to Win Titles
We can’t look past Bellotti, who isn’t past his best despite facing a younger fighter.
He has looked mightily impressive since his losing streak, and he’s the more mature fighter, which often helps.
Dillon vs Bellotti boxing odds could have him lower than -135, so we’re happy to take the value odds available.
We don’t see much value in betting on Dillon, who is unlikely to score with big punches. He’ll be looking to steal rounds late, but it’s Bellotti who will be inflicting damage.
There is also value with Bellotti by decision, which pays +240. The fight could go the distance, and he’s good enough to outscore Dillon.
Bettors who favor the knockout get +185, which is also a fair price.
