Garcia vs Campbell Odds Analysis

Making the step up into a major world title fight for his third-ever 12-round bout, this is the tightest betting line we’ve had for the young Ryan Garcia in his career. Typically, “KingRy” has been a four-figure favorite in most of his previous bouts, many of which ended in knockouts.

As for Campbell, this is the second consecutive bout in which he will enter the squared circle as the betting underdog as he closed at many books at +800 in his fight with Vasyl Lomachenko in August 2019. “Cool Hand” also was a +300 underdog when he fought Jorge Linares in 2017, a bout he lost via split decision.

Garcia vs Campbell Prediction

Garcia has outstanding hand speed matched with big knockout power. Of his 20 pro wins, 17 have been by knockout, including his last four in a row and the last two in the first round. He works extremely well behind his jab, which opens up areas for his more powerful hooks.

Additionally, he is quite accurate when his opponents open up to throw a punch. KingRy is much more dangerous when he’s able to counter, whereas if he’s the one that is chasing, it takes him a little while to get into a groove.

Campbell is a good test, though, with all three of his losses coming by decision, two via split and a lone unanimous midway through 2019 against Lomachenko. Cool Hand will have a reach advantage of just one inch, so it should be negligible in the ring.

He fights long too, though, typically inching his opponents backward with his jab, trying to find opportunities to land his heavier hooks. The 2012 Olympic Gold medalist has a great fight IQ, reading his opponents’ movements and countering effectively when they look to engage with him.

This is a really good fight to kick off 2021. Campbell performed very well in the Lomachenko loss, getting dropped once but staying in the fight for most of its duration, though on the scorecards he only won one or two rounds. He will have to fight a little defensively against Garcia, who I expect to have a major speed advantage, and really work behind his jab.

This is a big step up for KingRy, and a chance for redemption for Cool Hand in his third attempt at claiming a world title. Ultimately, I think the young gun gets it done, and it would be a major feather in his cap if he can get Campbell out of there inside the distance.

Prediction: Ryan Garcia (-500) via knockout (-120) in Rounds 7-9 (+450)
