Check out my best bet for Alan Chaves vs. Miguel Madueno.

Alan Chaves by KO/TKO/DQ (-115)

At 25 years old, Chaves is a rising star in the Lightweight division. Chaves has won four straight bouts by knockout and has finished 13 of his previous 14 opponents. This is Chaves’ first fight in the United States, as his first 21 bouts took place in his home country of Argentina. His opponent, Madueno, is coming off a loss to Oscar Duarte and is 1-3 in his previous four contests. Madueno’s last victory was a split-decision win over Justin Pauldo in February 2024.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Chaves is a massive -1000 favorite while Madueno is +600. The over/under is 8.5 rounds with the over being -135 for this contest. Even though both fighters are still young, they are trending in opposite directions. Madueno has struggled against tougher competition, while Chaves has excelled when facing better fighters. The difference in this contest is Chaves’ pace and volume. If Chaves comes out aggressively, it is unlikely that Madueno will be able to respond. Since Chaves is such a big favorite, I’m taking him to win by KO/TKO/DQ at -115. Chaves has won four straight by knockout, and 13 of 14 have come via KO/TO/DQ.
