Matchup Analysis
Tompkins aiming to bounce back from Hickey knockout
Todd Tompkins enters this bout coming off a highlight-reel second-round knockout defeat to Sam Hickey at Zuffa Boxing 07, raising questions about his ability to reset mentally on a quick turnaround.
SourceJackson's 7-0 start has him closing in on domestic title shots
Hull middleweight Ted Jackson rides a 7-0 record with two stoppage wins, including a recent knockout of Mike Byles at Eco-Power Stadium, and this matchup is another step toward the title opportunities he has been targeting.
SourceRugged southpaw Tompkins brings awkward angles and improved defense
Tompkins is a no-frills southpaw who has tightened his defense through hard sparring at Birmingham's Eastside gym, and his awkward angles could test Jackson's ability to adapt to a tricky left-handed opponent.
SourceBlood clot scare adds an extra layer of intrigue around Tompkins
Tompkins previously withdrew from a scheduled bout with rugged Lewis Howells due to a suspected blood clot in his leg, so observers will monitor whether any lingering physical concerns affect his performance against Jackson.
SourceJackson's national amateur success underpins his composure
Jackson secured his second national title in the England Boxing National Amateur Championships under-71kg final in 2022, experience that should help him stay calm if Tompkins drags the fight into the later stages.
SourcePick Ideas
Jackson by decision as a value angle
With Jackson's record featuring more points wins than quick blowouts despite two recent stoppages, backing him to win on the cards could offer better value than loading up on knockout-only markets.
Over total rounds with Tompkins' ability to hear the final bell
Tompkins has shown he can box steadily over the full four-round distance in wins such as his referee's decision against CJ Wood, suggesting he has enough durability and craft to make an over-on-rounds play attractive.
Underdog interest on Tompkins against a heavily promoted local prospect
Jackson has been showcased as the Hull prospect on high-profile undercards like Dave Allen vs Filip Hrgovic while Tompkins is used to boxing on the road, a dynamic that could inflate Jackson's price and create underdog value on Tompkins.
