    Should Korobov really be this big of an underdog? Honestly, this might be the best fighter Charlo has faced in his pro career. The odds indicate Korobov will only win 10% of the time, I really think the odds are out of whack.

    Very wide odds. I can see if they feel that Charlo is the younger fresher guy but in terms of fighting ability this is way closer. Very good value in that bet

    Why would they give better odds on Jermall if everyone is betting on him?
    "Vegas odds" reflect the favorite and where all the money is going.

    I just saw this line today (I think it just posted) so I'm not sure everyone is betting on Jermall. We shall see by the fight time if it stays at +900 or goes in favor of Korobov or Charlo.

    I personally think Charlo should be about a -300 favorite. Korobov is pretty underrated IMO and should give Charlo a tougher fight than Monroe Jr would have. But we will see, I'm definitely throwing some money down on Korobov at those odds even though I think he loses more often than not against Charlo.

    MK is worth a ten buck flier at those odds.

    It looks like good odds to bet a little bit on Korobov, but... I doubt he wins, frankly speaking. They will rob him, if needed.

    If he wasn't so inactive, was training for a fight at 160 and training for a 12 rounder then I'd be inclined to agree. Unfortunately that isn't the case. He might be useful for a few rounds at the start assuming he isn't too rusty, even at 35 he should be able to use his skill and craft to cause issues, but the conditioning ought to be of concern.

    Korobov was training for a fight at 162 pounds. the weight won't be a concern.

    Will be a better fight than Monroe but Korobov is up there in boxing age and I expect him to hange until the middle rounds tbh

    You have to be either a stone cold idiot or Dwyer to bet on Korobov here. Seriously donate your bet instead to some poor kids so they can buy a Christmas present.
