ESPN Friday Night Fights: Lemieux vs. Ayala Fight Odds: Tonight on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights Canadian middleweight prospect David Lemieux will meet a step up in competition when he faces veteran Elvin Ayala in a 12-round main event at 8:30 PM ET. Lemieux, 22-0, 21 KO’s, has blown away limited competition and is a top-30 contender but the former title challenger Ayala, 20-4-1, 9 KO’s, should be able to give the hard-punching 21-year old a good test. Below is a closer look at the main event from our boxing picks team of experts.
 

Boxing Picks Analysis: There are still a lot of question marks surrounding Lemieux but in previous “step-up” fights against C-level competition he has had mixed results. Lemieux has the better pedigree having been a star amateur while Ayala basically learned on the job in the pro ranks, but at 29-years old Elvin is a seasoned pro. The David Lemieux vs. Elvin Ayala Fight Odds OVER/UNDER is at 8.5 ROUNDS with the OVER at -130 on the Boxing Betting money line.

 We expect Lemieux to win but laying -1500 is too heavy. Ayala has only been stopped once in his career and he has developed some good boxing skills. Limited brawler Jason Naugler was able to extend Lemieux 10-rounds and Ayala is slicker and better skilled than Naugler. Take a flier bet on the OVER on the Boxing Betting TOTAL.
