Vargas vs Foster Betting Odds Predict Close Fight
WBC World Super Featherweight Title
Vargas vs Foster betting odds has defending WBC World Super Featherweight champion Rey Vargas at -180 to win in San Antonio.
Saturday’s fight against O’Shaquie Foster is closer than we expected with boxing odds, so there could be excellent value available.
Bettors should expect fireworks as two of the best featherweights battle inside the ring.
Vargas Grinding Out Wins
The Mexican champion is 36-0 with 22 wins coming by knockout, but he hasn’t won by knockout since 2016.
There has been trepidation with Vargas vs Foster betting odds because of this, but he has been doing enough to beat quality fighters on the scorecards.
His most recent win came against 24-0 Mark Magsayo, which came via a split decision. It was an extremely close call for the champion, who won 115-112, 113-114, 115-112.
Many believe he didn’t win the fight after being knocked to the ground in Round 9, but he fought back to win and remain undefeated and win the belt.
He’s not sure if he’ll stay at 130 pounds for too much longer, but he’s focused on the fight ahead.
“The featherweight title is absolutely still mine,”
“So, no worries about that. As far as 130, this is definitely an interesting challenge, an interesting place to be. We haven’t really decided what we’re gonna do afterwards, but we’re focused on the moment right now. Let’s focus on this fight, on this great crowd that we’re gonna be in front of, and then whatever happens, it will come after this fight.” Vargas said.
He’s also the WBC Bantamweight title holder, so Vargas is collecting the belts and he should be tough to beat.
We thought he would have been around -300, so the -180 with Vargas vs Foster betting odds could be worth entertaining for the champion.
Foster Overcoming Early Losses
Foster has two losses on his record, but the most recent came in 2016 and he has grown significantly since.
The American, who is ranked fourth in the division, is 19-2 with 11 knockouts, and he has beaten quality fighters recently. He knocked out Miguel Roman in 2020, who was 62-13 at the time.
He then scored a decision win against Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov, which was enough to secure him a title fight on Saturday.
Our boxing betting tips have to entertain the chances of Foster winning because of his odds. He’s a +150 chance to cause the upset and win the title, so there is plenty of market support and that has to be taken into account.
“It means the world. I’ve always wanted to be a world champion. It feels great to have a chance to make history myself. Words can’t even explain it. I’m just ready,”
“We’re right on schedule. Right now I’m just counting the days. I’m ready to go. I’m ready to see bro on the other side of the ring of me. We putting in the work, we done put in the work, and right now, I’m just counting down.” Foster said.
Vargas vs Foster betting odds have framed a closer fight than expected. That has to be taken into account when betting on boxing, so it could be worth backing Foster to win.
However, Vargas is the champion for a reason and his tactical edge could be enough. We don’t see either fighter winning by knockout, so there is better value in taking Vargas to win by decision at -110.
