Adrian Curiel safeguards his IBF Light Flyweight Title against Sivenathi Nontshinga in a rematch after Curiel’s unexpected knockout success over Nontshinga. Curiel is now preferred at -175, a plain contrast from being a +550 underdog in their previous match. Curiel’s success has actually legitimized him as a leading fighter in the department, and the home crowd benefit in Mexico might offer him an edge. Nontshinga, on the other hand, might be viewed as a “shot” fighter after his loss, and he has more to show in this rematch. The result of the fight will depend upon Nontshinga’s self-confidence and capability to take the fight to the champ. This rematch is anticipated to be a hit and will figure out the future of both fighters in the department.
