Leo vs Kameda Prediction
Angelo Leo is the slight favorite with boxing sportsbooks here, and rightly so. He put in a career-best performance last time out against Luis Alberto Lopez, as an underdog may we add.
Although not known as a huge puncher, the American showed that he has dynamite in his fists with a chilling knockout of ‘El Venado’ in winning the IBF World Featherweight Title last August.
Tomoki Kameda is evidently a world class fighter, but has lost four times. He has never been stopped and is a crafty old fox, which will undoubtedly teat Leo’s adjustment skills and overcoming certain obstacles.
That being said, we fully expect the champion to make a successful first defense of his belt and win via comfortable decision after 12 rounds of action.
