Martinez vs Batista Odds Battle for Flyweight Title
Undercard Boxing for WBC Belt

The quality boxing fight schedule continues on Saturday as Martinez vs Batista Odds headlines the undercard to Alvarez vs Ryder.
Boxing odds suggest that Julio Cesar Martinez will be too tough to beat and retain his WBC flyweight belt, but anything can happen in boxing.
Batista is the underdog and looking to cause havoc in the division.
Comeback Continues for Martinez
Although Martinez vs Batista betting markets heavily favor Martinez, the Mexican boxer has a recent loss on his record, having lost to Roman Gonzalez in 2022 by unanimous decision for the WBC Diamond Super Flyweight title.
Martinez’s chances were further hurt by weighing in heavy, which also dented his chances of fighting for a bigger title.
He managed to keep his WBC title with a no-contest against McWilliams Arroyo due to an accidental head butt. However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for the favorite. His majority decision win over Samuel Carmona in December was a close contest, and there are concerns about his recent performances.
Martinez will face Batista, who is ranked 69th in the division, and the easiest fighter Martinez has faced in recent years. This is a much-needed opportunity for Martinez to regain his confidence and get back on track after his recent loss.
Although a rematch against Arroyo is in the works, Martinez must first deliver a strong performance against Batista to prove that he is still a top contender in the division. The pressure is on, as any slip-up could damage Martinez’s prospects and set back his career progression.
“We are waiting to find out what Cesar “Rey” MartÃnez will do so that we can plan what will be next for McWilliams, but the idea is that this fight will take place after so many setbacks,” said Arroyo’s promoter, Bryan Perez.
Martinez must not underestimate Batista, despite his low ranking. This fight is crucial for Martinez to regain his confidence and prove that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the division.
It’s All or Nothing
Batista has a slim chance of defeating Martinez at Estadio Akron on Saturday, with a record of 15-2 against weak opposition, including a victory over a 12-15-5 fighter last year.
Despite two consecutive unanimous decision wins over moderate fighters, his inability to knock them out is a cause for concern, as he lacks power. The last time Batista scored a knockout was in 2018, when he won the vacant IBA World Super flyweight title.
However, he has not shown much promise since then, and he is not even the highest-ranked Panama fighter in the division, with that title belonging to Felix Montenegro, who has a record of 12-9-1.
Given this information, it is unlikely that bettors will witness an upset, and even if Batista starts well, the Martinez vs Batista Odds won’t change much.
He has been thrown into the deep end and it might put a hold on his career. However, if he’s to pull off the unthinkable, then he’ll have some big money fights on the horizon.
If Batista wants a chance to win, he needs to knock the confidence of Martinez. It’s not out of the realm of possibility, but as the odds suggest, it will be tough.
