The boxing calendar is winding down for 2014, with most promotions enjoying the holidays and gearing up for next year. Most of the action from now until the end of the year heads to us from Japan, where three separate events have eight world title fights on the slate. Not all of them have lines up, and the over/unders are limited so it is worth checking back to see if any additional lines pop up.
What Japan has planned though involves some real high level fighters, names such as Guillermo Rigondeaux, Omar Andres Narvaez and Takashi Uchiyama are all in title defenses. It seems like the books are staying away from offering lines in the lower weight classes, but ignoring a fighter like Argentina’s Narvaez, whose fight does not have a line posted yet, is a bit silly when compared to some of the other matches that did get lines. Most of those lines posted are so wide that you can’t even get any action in unless you are going to lay out a lot of juice, so it seems like the lines won’t move much heading into the fights.
In this latest blog, our boxing expert Miguel Iturrate reviews the lines that are up for the New Year’s eve boxing action out of Japan.
