Baumgardner vs. Persoon Prediction on September 27, 2024

Match info

At 10 p.m. local time on Friday, September 27, at the Lux Stage of Trilith Studio (one of the most sophisticated virtual production facilities in the world owned by a film production company located in Fayetteville, Georgia, USA), Alycia Baumgardner, the absolute reigning women’s boxing featherweight world champion (WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF), will attempt to defend her ranking against Delfine Persoon. Actually, the 10-round fight is planned to be the clash for the WBC super featherweight championship only. In the words of online bookies allowing dollar gambling, the big-time favorite is the titleholder, i.e. Baumgardner.

The match, and the entire event where the Baumgardner vs. Persoon fight is the main card, won’t be open for the audience, except for those who receive special invitations.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Alycia Baumgardner

For the first time since winning a rematch against Christina Linardatou Durán in July of last year to keep her undisputed junior lightweight title, Detroit’s Baumgardner (15-1, 7 KOs) will be in action. Three days prior to this bout, Baumgardner’s sample tested positive for a prohibited drug. The WBC declared her not guilty in January following an investigation into whether or not she purposefully consumed or ingested a prohibited drug in order to improve her performance. The American’s temporary suspension was removed by the Association of Boxing Commissions in March, allowing her to make a comeback.

The promotional group Global Combat Collective obtained the exclusive rights to Baumgardner’s title defense against Persoon in March for a whopping $500,000—a record amount for a WBC women’s championship bout. As previously stated, Baumgardner’s WBA, WBO, and IBF titles won’t be at stake in Fayetteville.

Baumgardner has defeated Mikaela Mayer via split decision and defeated Terri Harper via fourth-round TKO prior to that. These two wins elevated her to the top 5 among women, according to ESPN’s pound-for-pound ranking (combat sports use a ranking system that’s modified for weight class; since these fighters don’t compete directly, the ratings are arbitrary and can differ. ESPN is among the five platforms that release P4P ratings).

The current form of Delfine Persoon

Belgium’s Persoon (49-3, 19 KOs) is a former WBC and IBF champion. On home soil, the 39-year-old defeated Bo Mi Re Shin in a split decision in May 2023 at her most recent match. ESPN ranks Persoon as the No. 10 fighter in terms of P4P.

She was defeated by Irish fighter Katie Taylor by a majority decision in 2019 and by unanimous decision in their rematch two months later.

Match analytics

The stress of drug tests throughout the fight’s preparation is the sole thing that can keep the champion from beating Persoon, in our opinion. Baumgardner clearly outperforms all eligible challengers in practically every regard. After all, it’s not her fault that more formidable opponents currently have no time to compete in the rankings. Maybe she’ll run across Katie Taylor or Amanda Serrano later on, but for now, this is all we have for featherweight title bouts. On the other hand, since Baumgardner isn’t a finisher and doesn’t risk much in her fights, her victory won’t be decided too early, even though she’s an overwhelming favorite, with odds of 1.30 on Fairspin; Persoon is 3.73. That’s where you should seek your chances as bettors, given that bookmakers give rather long odds for the bout not to go to the distance.

Tip: Fight to go the distance – No, with odds of 4.5 on Mostbet.
