The sport books have loaded up with a slew of new lines for fights scheduled for this weekend, as no less than 10 new fights have popped up at the books.
In the United States, the calendar is dominated by three big events: “Premier Boxing Champions” on SpikeTV, The WBC Heavyweight title defense of Deontay Wilder vs Eric Molina on Showtime and the WBA Super World Featherweight title fight between the spectacular champion Nicholas Walters and Miguel Marriaga in HBO. The Premier Boxing Champions broadcast is headline by Erislandy Lara as he faces Delvin Rodriguez. Though no over/unders were posted for the headline matches, many of the fights on all three undercards have filled in, including several fights that will air on the broadcasts, like the Artur Beterbiev versus Alexander Johnson match in the undercard.

The United Kingdom hosts an interim IBF World Bantamweight bout between Lee Haskins and Ryosuke Iwasa on the card. The Haskins vs Iwasa bout is one of the few bouts with a close line all weekend, as the match is expected to be heated with both men making their first attempts at grabbing a piece of the world title. Several of the other fights on the card are available at the books now, including veteran favorite Bob Ajisafe‘s fight with Daniel Wanyonyi where he is trying to win the vacant Commonwealth Light Heavyweight title.
In France, heavyweight contender Carlos Takam (31-2) faces long-in-the-tooth veteran Michael Sprott (42-23) as Takam is another heavyweight tuning up for a run at the top.
