    The last I checked you can get awfully generous lines.

    Kossobutskiy -155 Ajagba +115

    Seems like a great deal of misplaced confidence in Efetobore on the bookies' part, IMO.

    I change my vote to Ajagba on points.

    Pro boxing fans is definitely one of the better fight predicting pages out there and they got Ajagba by KO.

    You're quoting a comment from Sunday, 8/20. Lines move on fight week.

    This has to be the best fight of the weekend.

    And odds are very good on Zhan stopping Ajagba

    He is -195 now, the other guy said he was +110

    That is a massive swing

    Unfortunately Zhan became the favorite. He was +110 for a few days and then became the favorite. Late money on Kossobutskiy.

    Been watching more of Zhan in the build up to this and my impressions have slightly improved on his chances. He might fight like the world's most apathetic sparring partner, but he's also really good at using angles and turning fighters. Probably second only to Usyk in this regard (though the level of competition is obviously miles more inferior). Can maybe see Ajagba getting a bit befuddled by Zhan's footwork and getting cracked repeatedly on the blindside, which if he can't deal with that will tip the fight massively in Zhan's favour. The fight will tell us a lot about both men, and is actually one of the more meaningful HW matchups this year. Quite looking forward to this.

    I slept through the fights, how was Zhan disqualified, what did he do?

    I didn't expect Zhan to fall mentally already in the fourth round.
