Cameron vs. Hernandez: Tale of the tape
Chantelle Cameron (-5000)
Cameron (13-0, 7 KOs) will make her debut in the United States. She was involved in a car accident that pushed her fight back from March to now, and Hernandez (23-7-3, 7 KOs) said she didn’t believe Cameron had a legitimate injury and was faking it. That has stoked the fire for Cameron as she looks to make quick work of Hernandez and try to set up a fight with Katie Taylor for a much larger payday.
While Cameron has racked up plenty of knockouts in her career, her last three wins have been via unanimous decision, including last time out Oct. 4, when she topped Adriana dos Santos Araujo at Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

Melissa Hernandez (+1400)
Hernandez once won the featherweight title, but that was many moons ago and three divisions down. She is now 41 years old, and this will be just her second fight since July 16, 2016. Her last fight was a unanimous-decision win over Selina Barrios at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, La., April 27, 2019.

Cameron vs. Hernandez: Odds, predictions and picks
You obviously cannot risk playing Cameron (-5000) straight up as you must risk $100 to win just $2.
While Cameron has won her past three fights by unanimous-decision, she will be facing a fighter with just one fight under her belt in nearly five years. And Hernandez has stoked the flames by talking smack. That should give Cameron a little more incentive to fire out of the box and try and end this one early. As such, I love CAMERON BY KO/TKO/TECHNICAL DECISION OR DQ (+150) rather than playing Cameron on points (-190).
Normally I like a block of round betting, too, and you should look to CAMERON IN ROUND 5 (+1400), CAMERON IN ROUND 6 (+1200) and CAMERON IN ROUND 7 (+1200) for the win. Even if she wins in Rounds 5 through 7, you will lose two ends but still be well ahead.
