    This fight is corrupted and when it goes the distance the fighter with more money will get decision. Other thing is that they might put something to Usyk food/water to make him sick etc.

    With these odds I don't recommend to play.

    Agreed just something smells fishy. ive bet on worst fights though, I locked in $210 +110 odds on 5dime.

    I originally intended to go really heavy on Usyk like towards a 1000

    It's so tempting to put money on Usyk though.

    Gawsiev wins, easy money. Either by KO or by UD with several knockdowns.

    The betting on this fight is 50/50 with every bookmaker in the UK.

    I placed futures on Usyk and Groves pre-tourney, so I'm sitting pretty to hedge now. I just put a bit on Gassiev but not enough to break even, only to cut possible losses, because I will be shocked if Gassiev wins.

    Usyk's advantages in legs, outside boxing, endurance, and smarts are just too clear here. At times Usyk will be lured into Gassiev's fight, Gassiev will win a couple early rounds, it'll be a solid fight, but I see Usyk running away with a 9-3 kind of decision. Which in Russia could well be closer, maybe a couple 7-5s, but I'm going with Usyk taking most rounds clearly enough that they can't take it from him.

    Briedis giving Usyk a tougher than expected match didn't expose Usyk at all, Briedis was just a more stylistically difficult matchup for Usyk than the comparatively slower, more plodding Gassiev will be. Usyk's got this!

    It's 99% guaranteed to be a draw, mark my words. A draw would be a hell of a bet to make.

    It's 100% guaranteed not be a draw as there are no draws in the WBSS.

    Also, how can something be 99% guaranteed? It's not guaranteed then is it? Lol
