Is there a decent chance of an upset special here? Pulev hasn't boxed in 18 months when Joshua smashed him and is 41 now. Forrest is coming off the back of two quite credible draws. With that big stiff Chinese robot Zhang. He basically drew because he went down in all of the first 3 rounds but schooled him the rest of the way, then to Michael Hunter which the majority thought he won. 5/1 for Forrest to win on points looks a decent punt to me
Forrest is a good boxer and a victim of strange refereeing decisions, a victory against Pulev would not be a surprise considering that Pulev was never anything special...
I'm glad that Forrest is getting a little bit of a relevant fight after his recent performances. I'm not sure I've ever seen a draw as short as +1600 but it still might be a good bet. Am I missing something or would you get better value from betting $100 on Forrest by Decision at +500 and $100 on Forrest by KO/TKO/DQ at +700 compared to $200 on Forrest to win at +250. Is there some mode of victory that isn't covered? https://www.proboxingodds.com/events/2022-05-14-1565
There are good fights this week Yoka vs Bakole Ennis vs Clayton Charlo vs Castano Kovalev vs Pulev Pulev vs Forrest Zurdo vs Boesel Odds are very high on Forrest. Maybe Pulev still have it. He can still fight some good guys like Hrgovic, makhmudov, Helenius.
