    What were some of the dumbest odds in recent boxing history?

    Bivol +400 against Canelo for just straight moneyline. My gosh, the disrespect given to Bivol. A blown up MW who lost to an old GGG was heavy favorite against a top prime LHW. Joke.

    Spence was -400 against Mikey Garcia. Again, wtf? Should have been -3000 at least. A fat blown up Lightweight against a pre car crash Spence? Joke of some odds.

    Ward was +110 to beat Froch on points. Bizarre odds. No way was Ward stopping Froch. And after watching how easily he outpointed Kessler the overwhelming most likely outcome was Ward on points.

    Floyd vs Mcgregor. I made so much money on that fight. Even odds even bets with coworkers who were convinced Connor would win.

    AJ Vs Usyk I. AJ was a huge favourite.

    Bellew was 15/8 for the rematch with Haye. A man he'd already beaten, had suffered a really serious and normally career-ending injury in the first fight, and was also shot to pieces. That's the craziest odds I can recall in recent memory.

    Bellew by stoppage was 10/3...

    Can’t remember the exact odds but Fury was the slight underdog for Wilder 2. I had no doubt Fury would make the necessary adjustments

    Also Jake Paul’s early fights, especially against Askren, was just free money

    Ken Shiro was +165 vs Kyoguchi. That’s mind blowing to me. All because he took one loss, and to a guy I think would beat Kyoguchi.

    Can't remember the odds but Eubank was favourite to beat Groves at the time.

    The Spence Garcia fight was genuinely insane. Made money off of that fight.

    The Bivol Canelo as well. Wish I was paying attention at that time as would have made money there too.

    Dang good call on the Fury Wilder 2 odds... didnt remember Wilder being the favorite for that fight. Just checked and he was, just barely.

    I favored Fury in that fight but I could see why so many were favoring Wilder... many people felt Fury was lucky not to get waved off in the first fight, they might think that now that he shared the ring with Fury already that he would start landing his shots sooner in the fight in the rematch now that he has Fury gauged already.

    But you would think vegas would know better.

    I actually lost 500 euros on that bet. All those people on tv and internet analyzing blue and red states were convinced it was an easy hillary win when the early results came out.
    I made essy money with obama two times before so thought easy money.
    ****ing cnn and their dumb holograms.

    odds dropped even further so went to bed
    Woke up to my ex cursing at the tv...

    It ruined my day as much as the sjw millenials at work but for different reasons.
