Date and Time: Saturday, August 19. 2:00 PM ET
How to Watch: DAZN
Flynn is coming off his unanimous decision win over Kane Baker in April on the Joshua-Franklin undercard.
Baker fought once after their first meeting, beating the 3-98-2 MJ Hall on the scorecards in June.
Flynn is a 27-year-old professional boxer out of the UK with a record of 9-0 with one KO under his belt. After winning a tough decision over Baker earlier this year, he is taking this rematch to put Baker behind him and prove he is levels above a journeyman. Flynn stands at 5’8.5″ and fights out of the orthodox stance.
Baker is a 19-10-1 professional boxer with only one KO as well at the age of 33. He will be very similar in size to Flynn, standing at 5’8″ with a slim frame. Baker turned pro in 2016 and has stayed very active over the years. He has been finished three times as well. Fighting out of the orthodox stance, this is a very typical boxing matchup for him.
There are no injuries reported to Matchroom Boxing.
Before making the Jordan Flynn vs Kane Baker prediction, we have to take a deep dive into the available betting lines for this super featherweight bout. Finding the right bet to make can make you a lot of extra money than just blindly throwing a wager on the moneyline.
According to boxing odds, Flynn is the big -650 betting favorite over the +420 underdog in Baker. This fight is also favored to make it to the scorecards at -300. The most interesting line is Baker winning by TKO/KO at a whopping +2100. That is a crazy betting line to have with two professionals punching each other in the face if you really think about it.
From the technical side of this rematch, it’s pretty easy to break down because these two just competed against each other earlier this spring. Flynn was the prettier boxer, controlling the distance pretty well, and fought heavily behind his jab.
Baker is the more spazzy fighter with the game plan of pushing the pace and putting pressure on his opponent. He will dip in and out of the range and constantly move his head off the center line. He will slow down a bit as the fight goes on and if he gets hit. His awkward style gave Flynn more problems than he was expecting in their first meeting.
This matchup should be one of the key boxing matches on this Matchroom card that you want to watch. Their first bout was very entertaining, and now, in the lead-up to this fight, they have some hard feelings toward each other. The verbal spar at the press conference this week is enough to make you want to tune in.
- The official Jordan Flynn vs Kane Baker prediction is that Flynn wins pretty easily on the scorecards.
He is the more talented boxer, and you can assume his coaches have made adjustments for him to land more shots this time around and deal with the unorthodox style of Baker.
Baker winning by TKO/KO at +2100 is crazy enough that if you have extra money, you might as well throw it on that. That will hit even if something weird happens, like Flynn breaks a hand and his corner stops it. Very unlikely, but you’ve never seen those kinds of odds on a fight this closely matched.
