British Forum BETTING thread

Given how close the first fight was and the fact that the rematch is in Vegas, I don't see it as a safe bet. LSC wins a decision, mark my words.

 

I got frampton v Cruz - Draw for 20/1 worth sticking a fiver on

 

I think it's a relatively safe bet on the fight going the distance at 1/2. Can't see either winning by KO.

 

The odds currently look very good value. AJ is a very clear betting favourite. For example William Hill have AJ 2/5 with Wlad 2/1.

My question is: Do you think these odds will swing further towards AJ over the coming days, stay the same, or swing towards Wlad ?

Saying I might bet on Wlad, is it better to wait until Saturday see if the weekend casuals go even more AJ-crazy here ?

 

I think your better holding off till after the public workouts. Joshuas gonna look explosive as always. Klitchko probably wont look quite as good. But cant see the odds moving that much cause theres not really any value in a joshua outright win with casuals. They ll be picking rounds no sure if that,ll swing the betting odds for an outright win. I d check the odds for a klitchko knockout? Not a lot really forseeing it...pretty crazy when you think something like 53 of 63 have went the same way against him...by knockout.

 

I put a bet on Klitschko winning by decision a few weeks back and got 13/2. Figured if AJ wins I'd be happy, if he loses I'll still get a positive out of it.

 

Vlad will have to win by knockout or TKO, the judges will be for Joshua, so will the referee.................Vlad can knock Joshua out, he has the power to do so and the skills and experience to set Joshua up, Joshua has a rematch clause for good reason, he remembers their sparring sessions not that long ago. I give Vlad an excellent chance of knocking Joshua out, esp. since Whyte staggered and hurt Joshua. Whyte has no where near the skills of Vlad, nor the power, nor the height, nor the talent, experience, balance, foot work, jab, left hook, right hand, looping right, right hook, hook off the jab, and don't forget the power jab. Watch Klitschko Vs. Shufford on UTUBE and you will see Vlad land the shortest left hook in boxing, no joke............

 

Wlad on points currently gets very good odds. I expect the odds to close up a bit as the night looms closer

 

25/1 Klit 10-12. Worth a tenner.

 

Wlad by KO in rounds 1-6 is 9/1, which I find very tempting. I want AJ to win, but will be laying a bit down on Wlad.

 

Casual Joshua fan punters are forcing the odds. It ain't based on reality. Wlad will win.

 

,

I originally made this a 60/40 fight in favour of Joshua, having seen some of Wlad's training I still make Joshua favourite but now 55/45.
It's really a pick em fight imo,either winning would not surprise me at all.
Experience v youth,I give Joshua a very slight advantage because of Wlad's age and inactivity and because he did not look good last time out.
However Wlad seems to be very focused and on a mission , the pressure of defending his title has been lifted from him. How much has he left? How good is Joshua's chin? Hopefully on Saturday night we will find out and we will get a clear result without any controversy . In London I would expect Joshua's odds to stay short and that he will remain favourite, Wlad is a decent punt at 2/1 but I'm going for youth and because I think it will be more beneficial if the torch passes to him Wlad hasn't exactly thrilled me in many of his performances!

 

That's incredibly good value.
3 fights back Wlad destroyed Pulev inside 6 rounds, and he has every reason to want to get a dangerous opponent like AJ out of there as quickly as possible.

 

Wlad definitely isn't coming to lay down

I do get the feeling that the smartest money is definitely on Josh

But some of these odds on WK are worth a punt definitely

 

Yeah, I really have no idea who will win. I wouldn't be surprised by any outcome.
That's why the value on Wladimir seems so good to me. Admittedly I'd prefer Wlad to win but I wouldn't bet based on that. I'd bet on the fact that the odds don't seem to reflect the reality, in my eyes. The reality being that this is somewhere near 50-50.
Of course, it could look like a mismatch once the bell rings, in either man's favour. And in hindsight people who picked the correct winner will say "told you so". But I think very few of us are so sure of things.
