Thanksgiving rolls on into a fantastic weekend of boxing in the United States, with a plethora of excellent fights going down in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday night. Headlining all of these is the bout boxing fans have been aching to see, a clash between super-middleweights David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade for the WBC interim belt.
With both men coming into this match up undefeated, someone’s “0” has got to go. Benavidez is largely seen as the better fighter and will be favoured by many to win but this is far from a cut and dry fight. Andrade has been one of the most avoided boxers over the past decade, giving him the reputation of an unknown quantity against top-tier fighters. Can he finally burst into the limelight or will the American get found out?
We break down all the latest betting odds from bookmaker William Hill ahead of this clash and outline the best bets to make on Benavidez vs. Andrade this weekend.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: November 24th, 1:00 A.M. (GMT)
Outright betting odds from bookmaker William Hill have David Benavidez as a strong favourite, with the Mexican-American returning just 1.28 to win. Demetrius Andrade is an underdog but is definitely still considered a chance to win at 3.50.
Looking at the method of victory odds, William Hill has put Benavidez winning by decision and knockout at almost even, with these two results returning 2.62 and 2.25 respectively. Andrade claiming this on points is his best shot at 5.50, while a knockout to the underdog is at long odds of 11.00.

On the balance of probabilities, betting on Benavidez to win by decision is the best wager to make here. The 27-year-old may have a vicious knockout record with 23 of his 27 career fights ending this way. However, the last tie he faced a high-level boxer in the form of Caleb Plant earlier this year, the fight went the distance. We say a similar result will unfold this Saturday night as Andrade’s southpaw stance and unorthodox approach should trouble Benavidez enough to take this one to the judges.
Two other great bets are backing this to go the distance at a return of 1.80 for those who think Andrade’s style may be enough to unsettle Benavidez enough for Andrade to get the win. Or, backing the underdog to win in rounds 7-12 for a hefty 17.00 return on the outside chance that the American is behind on points heading into the closing rounds and goes for a desperate move.
