James DeGale v Caleb Truax, Lee Selby v Eduardo Ramirez Fight Preview

First of all, though, DeGale must get past Truax on Saturday night. This will be seen as a tune-up fight by the Briton’s camp having only just returned from a shoulder injury.

Truax is reasonably durable, but his best days are likely well behind him now. The Minnesota native was stopped in the first round against Anthony Dirrell in April 2016.

This will be a question of when, not if, for DeGale. The southpaw will likely take his time settling back into a rhythm.

It’s 8/13 DeGale wins by KO/TKO. But DeGale to win in Rounds 7-12 looks value at 2/1.

Selby v Ramirez

Along with DeGale, Lee Selby is regarded as one of Britain’s best boxing talents.

However, the IBF featherweight strap-holder has had a year to forget in 2017. It’s been a bit of a damp squib in terms of box office bouts for the Welshman.

The Barry native will have one eye on a potential super fight with Belfast’s Carl Frampton in 2018.

But first, he must concentrate on defending his title against Eduardo Ramirez. The Mexican isn’t exactly a world star but he will be a dangerous opponent regardless.

The Mexican southpaw bagged a decent draw against Cuba’s Leduan Barthelemy back in September.

Even if they’re not top quality, Mexicans are renowned for their durability. Selby will need to avoid complacency in order to get the win.

That’s clearly reflected in the odds where Selby to win by decision is 4/7, with the KO/TKO at 6/4.

If there is a late stoppage, Selby to win in Rounds 7-12 could be worth a bet at 11/4.
