Ted Jackson vs Mike Byles Prediction

ATS PREDICTION

Ted Jackson Win

Predicted: 60-54

⚡87%

Ted Jackson (6-0, 1 KO) is the clear favorite against Mike Byles (8-14-0, 0 KO) due to his undefeated record, youth, and strong amateur background. Jackson, at 24 years old, is 14 years younger than the veteran Byles, who is 38. Byles is known as a 'gatekeeper' who frequently faces and loses to up-and-coming prospects, having recently returned from a layoff with two points losses. Jackson has demonstrated continuous improvement and the ability to win decisively, as seen in his recent 60-54 points victory in March 2026. While Byles is durable, Jackson's skills and fresher profile are expected to secure him a comfortable decision victory over the six scheduled rounds, likely winning every round.

SPREAD PREDICTION

Ted Jackson -3.5 Rounds (-3.5)

87%

Given Ted Jackson's undefeated record and superior boxing skills against a veteran 'gatekeeper' in Mike Byles, Jackson is highly likely to win a clear decision. A -3.5 round spread suggests he wins at least 4 of the 6 rounds, which aligns with expectations for a dominant performance over a fighter with Byles's extensive losing record. Jackson's consistent performances suggest he will control the majority of the rounds.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Over 5.5

100%

This middleweight bout is scheduled for 6 rounds. Mike Byles, despite his losing record, is known for his toughness and durability, often going the distance against prospects. Ted Jackson, while undefeated, has only one knockout in his six professional wins, indicating he primarily wins by decision. Therefore, it is highly probable that the fight will go the full six rounds, making the 'Over 5.5 rounds' a confident pick.

💰 Sharp Money

Due to the clear stylistic matchup and record disparity, sharp money is likely to target handicap bets on Jackson winning by a wide points margin or potentially a late stoppage if a specific line emerges, rather than a straight moneyline which would offer poor value. Line movement: Without specific opening lines, it's anticipated that any initial lines would position Jackson as a significant favorite, and if anything, the line might move further in his favor as fight night approaches, driven by public confidence in his unblemished record.
