Chris Billam-Smith vs Mateusz Masternak Preview
Chris Billam-Smith aims to make a successful first defence of his world cruiserweight title this weekend as he faces Polish veteran Mateusz Masternak. Despite being the heavy favourite on paper with UK betting apps, this will undoubtedly be a tough test for ‘The Gentleman’.
This is the fourth consecutive bout for Chris Billam-Smith in his hometown of Bournemouth. In order to successfully defend his WBO World Cruiserweight Title for the first time, ‘CBS’ will very much need to be on his A-game to defeat the Polish veteran.
Masternak has fought in England before, losing via unanimous decision to Tony Bellew back in December 2015. Since then, only the hard hitting Yuniel Dorticos has beaten the Polish cruiserweight dangerman.
Yes, Chris Billam-Smith is the favourite here, but that means nothing in boxing. Just look at Billam-Smith’s last fight. He was the underdog against Lawrence Okolie back in May, but put in a sensational performance to defy his underdog odds.
Chris Billam-Smith vs Mateusz Masternak Betting Tip
Sun, 10 Dec 2023 , 21:00 GMT • Bournemouth International Centre • Chris Billam-Smith vs Mateusz Masternak
The best online gambling sites in the UK are right to make Chris Billam-Smith a relatively heavy favourite here against Mateusz Masternak. However, just because he is odds on to win, doesn’t mean Sunday night couldn’t be a tricky fight for ‘The Gentleman’.
Masternak has never fought for world honours, falling short on several occasions just as you thought he had earned his shot at world glory. Billam-Smith on the other hand has done it the hard way, moving up the division all the way to the summit.
The reigning champion has won five of his last seven fights via decision, with just two knockout wins in over three years. However, ‘Master’ hasn’t fought in 14 months. Even when he did fight regularly in 2022, it was at a far lower level than this.
Here at SportsLens we think Masternak’s lack of activity and testing fights could be his downfall on Sunday night, with Chris Billam-Smith getting back on the knockout streak. ‘CBS’ is favoured to win this fight on points, but we could see the Bournemouth man sending his hometown in raptures with a late stoppage victory.
