Crews-Dezurn vs Green Betting Tips: Passing the Torch

Boxing Odds Have Red-Hot Challenger Favored

Don’t sleep on the undercard of the Jake Paul vs Andre August card this Friday. We are about to witness the rise of a star as Shadasia Green beats and takes Franchon Crew-Dezurn’s WBC title.

The challenger is favored as she’s been on a roll leading to this title shot. And typically, laying -800 on a relative unknown is foolhardy. But we’ll dissect how this could still be the best Crews-Dezurn vs Green betting tips.

Does Crews-Dezurn Still Have It?

Crews-Dezurn just lost all her super middleweight titles in a grueling battle with Savannah Marshall. It was a bout that saw Crews-Dezurn struggle to put together offense. Thus, the “Heavy-Hitting Diva” could not hit the right note and lost as a +250 underdog. Now, she finds herself as a longer dog at +400 via the boxing odds. The question is: does she still have “it”?

“I’m on a mission to continue to prove why I’m one of the greatest,” vowed Crews-Dezurn as reported by Boxing Scene. “You don’t have to like my style, but I don’t win by chance. I win because I put in the work. On December 15 I’m going to put in the work, and I’m going to show you why I’m ‘The Heavy Hitting Diva’ – and the first-ever undisputed super middleweight champion in history.”

Of course, Crews-Dezurn is not short on confidence in interviews. But as a woman who is busy taking care of her career outside boxing, she seems to have one foot out the door already. Her boxing calendar has been filled with the best at super middleweight.

And now Crews-Dezurn takes on an upstart in Green. While only two years older than Green, Crews-Dezurn is longer in the tooth in terms of boxing years. She’s 36 and has boxed some wars with Marshall and Elin Cederroos.

Green is a younger and hungrier boxer. She also has more significant power and just finished Cederroos, something Crews-Dezurn and Femke Hermans, a former champion, could not do.

Given her age and focus on her extracurricular activities, it’s tough to tout the former undisputed with our Crews-Dezurn vs Green betting tip. There is no value in a losing bet.

Green Ready to Pass Another Test

As for Green, she is already seen as the uncrowned champion. And it’s hard not to buy into her hype. She has an 84.6% knockout-to-win ratio. In comparison, Crews-Dezurn has 25% and Cederroos has 50%. Finishing ability like Green’s is rare in women’s boxing, especially in these divisions.

What makes Green deadly isn’t power. It’s her speed. She stands 5’8”, just like Crews-Dezurn. But she’s much faster. She’ll have a speed edge against her opponent. Crews-Dezurn’s best chance is to muddy the fight by clinching and preventing Green from rattling off combos. But if Marshall, a slower and more flat-footed opponent, was able to do it, Green should.

Not much is known from Green until she broke through by knocking out Cederroos. But now, under Jake Paul’s promotion company, MVP, Green is finally getting some shine.

“It’s been amazing,” said Green on joining Paul’s promotional team. “[It’s] changed my boxing career in so many dimensions.”

Paul has always had an eye for the “next big thing” in women’s boxing. Green could be that boxer. This is her highest-profile scheduled boxing match. And she should beat Crews-Dezurn. A decision win at -190 is the likeliest outcome. Our best Crews-Dezurn vs Green betting tips is to bet this instead of her on the moneyline at -800.

While Green could hurt Crews-Dezurn repeatedly, the ex-undisputed champion is savvy enough to hang in there and take it to the judges. But for stardom’s sake, Green should beat the brakes off of Crews-Dezurn.
