    The reason is Femi fanboys have all their cash on him. The odds have to reflect the betting. 9s at betvictor is very very tempting.

    Betting odds aren't really a true reflection of a fighters chances, they are influenced by the bets that are placed, so popular fighters with a strong following will of course be big betting favourites.

    God I will be embarrassed if they are anywhere near that re**** in Parker's side. I'm embarrassed for the Poms that they've got the odds like that, its madness. He'd be the favourite, sure.... but.

    No way the odds will be even remotely close to that if/when that fight gets made.

    I can't see the odds fluctuating that much globally.

    If gambling is legal in New Zealand, I very much expect they see the samish odds that the UK do.

    The UK just has a much higher population and a big gambling culture driving the odds.

    Also Joshua wins the fight - but I wouldn't make him a 1/20 fav.

    I was embarrassed about the odds for Takam winning and they were NO WAY that lopsided. A lot of Kiwis see Joshua as the favourite, but yeah - sadly there are a lot of people here equally as re****ed as the Poms who think Parker is a step down from Breazeale, Whyte, Martin etc.
