Courtenay vs. Bridges: Tale of the tape
Shannon Courtenay
Courtenay (6-1, 3 KOs), a.k.a. “The Baby Face Assassin”, steps in looking to build momentum after her TKO over Dorota Norek last time out Dec. 4, 2020 at Wembley Arena. Three of her past five fights have finished inside the distance.

Ebanie Bridges
Bridges (5-0, 2 KOs) has won all five of her professional bouts, and the Aussie has gone the distance in each of her past two outings. That includes a unanimous-decision victory over Carol Earl last time out at Bankstown City Paceway, Condell Park in her native country. This will be her first fight in the United Kingdom and just her second fight off of home soil.

Courtenay vs. Bridges: Odds, predictions and picks
Courtenay (-600) is a heavy favorite in this bout, and she should be able to ease past Bridges (+450). However, betting her on the 2-way or 3-way line isn’t a recommended course of action as there is just too much risk.
Instead, take COURTENAY BY KO/TKO/TECHNICAL DECISION OR DQ (-140) for a much better value.
In addition, look to individual round betting, and I am suggesting a four-round block for a great value. If she wins in one of the four rounds you will be far, far ahead. COURTENAY IN ROUND 5 (+1000), COURTENAY IN ROUND 6 (+1000), COURTENAY IN ROUND 7 (+1000) and COURTENAY IN ROUND 8 (+1100) is a great value if she drops Bridges in either of the rounds.
