Mikaela Mayer vs Sandy Ryan: Odds, betting tips, undercard, and more

Mayer vs Ryan odds

There was very little between the pair in the first fight at Madison Square Garden in September, as evidenced by the majority decision result. Sports betting traders expect a repeat performance and another hard-fought contest. That shows in the pre-fight odds available at major sportsbooks with a competitive book available.

Those in charge of the betting seem happy to offer competitive odds in the fight-winner market and allow members to pick their champion. Traders take up a safe position on the fence, and that will capture the attention of the value-hunters out there. When a bookmaker struggles to predict the winner, you’ll have a great chance to make a profit.

Who wins? Will Mayer make it back-to-back victories over her English opponent? Will Ryan claim a revenge win to level the scores? The Brit felt she did enough to win the first fight before losing out on a majority decision. Sandy won’t want to leave her fate to the judges in America this time.

Mayer wants more of the same

Mikaela Mayer enters Saturday’s contest with a professional boxing record detailing 20 wins against two defeats and no draws. The 34-year-old from Colorado has fought 164 competitive rounds as a professional fighter and carries a 25% knockout average after felling four of her previous opponents. The 5’ 9” orthodox boxer with a 66” reach is currently ranked number one in the world at the weight and hopes that’s the case next week.

The first loss on Mikaela’s card was inflicted by Alycia Baumgardner in London on a split decision back in October 2022. Her most recent reverse came against Natasha Jonas in Liverpool on a split decision last January. Since losing to Jonas in a gripping contest, Mayer has fought only once, beating Saturday’s opponent in New York. She needed the win, as back-to-back defeats would’ve spun Mayer down the rankings. It was close, but Mayer deserves credit for grinding out the win.

At the end of the first meeting, the scorecards read Mayer 97-93 and 96-94, with one judge scoring the fight a 95-95 dead heat, hence the majority aspect of the decision. Mayer plots to secure another win over her British opponent, but she won’t want to leave things in the balance and knows she must be much more decisive this time to win the battle and finally end the war between the American and Brit.

Stats:

Age: 34 years old
Height: 5’ 9”
Weight: Welterweight
Record: 20-2-0

Ryan wants her revenge

Saturday’s fight in Las Vegas certainly isn’t a must-win for the progressive Sandy Ryan, but the fighter from Derbyshire, England knows failure to win could shunt her down the pecking order. It could be many months or even years before the progressive Ryan is back in a position to challenge for major honours.

Defeat would derail the away fighter’s progress, but a win would supercharge her career. Returning home with the world title will capture the attention of the top fighters, managers and promoters, meaning some glittering offers will arrive on Ryan’s desk on Monday morning. Does she have what it takes to win and become champ? Sandy’s performance against Mayer and her recent form shows she can hold her own at the top level.

Ryan travels to Nevada with a professional record detailing seven wins against two defeats and one draw. She’s currently ranked number three in the world behind her opponent and fellow Brit Lauren Price who we saw in action when beating Natasha Jonas in London earlier this month. That was an impressive victory for the Welsh fighter, but a win for Ryan this weekend would eclipse that performance and push Sandy into the number-one slot.

Stats:

Age: 31 years old
Height: 5’ 8”
Weight: Welterweight
Record: 7-2-1

Mayer vs Ryan betting tips

There’s plenty to bet on ahead of Mayer vs Ryan II, but which online gambling markets are the best? Which will increase your chances of making a profit? I’ve listed my pick of the pre-fight markets below, ensuring there’s something to suit all styles of betting and budgets.

Fight to go the distance

My first bet on Mayer vs Ryan is for the fight to go the 10-round distance and trouble the scoring judges sat at ringside. The odds offered make this market best suited to your weekend accumulators, but the stats suggest we’re on the right path.

These fighters have a combined 32 fights but just eight knockouts, proving they aren’t big punchers. Both women will rely on skill and speed to win the title. Bet on the fight to go the distance, and it doesn’t matter who wins. As long as we hear the final bell, you land the profits.

Mayer to win

Saturday is a real “pick-em” contest, and it would be easy to build a strong case for either fighter winning in Las Vegas. Mayer is the champion and is many pundits’ pick to add another victory to the list. Ryan went close last time and knows she was just a few rounds away from winning the fight and world title.

Mayer is the better boxer, and she wasn’t at her best last time. I predict the American will win and settle the rivalry once and for all. Mayer has the backing of an American audience, is more experienced and beat Ryan last time. She also has a great price attached.

Mayer on points

My third and final pick on Saturday’s chief support is the best of the bunch for value. Back Mayer to follow the example of last year in New York and score a points win over Ryan. Her natural size and reach advantages allow her to box at range, while her hard-earned experience will be invaluable in the later rounds.

Bet on Mayer to win on a points decision and hope she delivers. Mayer will win, but she hasn’t stopped an opponent since 2019, while both of Sandy’s defeats came on points.
