Maskaev will Win!

Sorry, but that dont seem right. If you bet 500 dollars on Maskaev and win, you win 600 $ . If you bet 600 on Peter and win you get 500 $. That is not even close to 6 to 1 odds $ on betting.

 

I think that Maskaev might pull this off. He does punch hard (altough not hard enough to KO Peter with one punch) and he's tactically savvy enough to maybe take Peter down the stretch.

 

To me, this fight is very much of the Cooney-Norton variety. I was around back in those days, and I well remember how fans - and the boxing press - were overrating Norton, saying he was too experienced for Cooney and the like, and IGNORING the fact that he had a VERY questionable chin and was going up against a hard puncher.

I will be very surprised if the outcome of this fight isn't very much like that of Cooney-Norton. Nine times out of ten it is - and Peter has already proven more than Cooney did before facing Norton.

 

maskev +500

peter -600

Stand corrected.

 

Peter looks fat as hell! When it comes to putting your money where your mouth is, my money is on Maskaev.

 

I'm not convinced that Peter has learned any skill, I'm hoping Masaev shows the slimfast version of Butterbean what up and knocks him silly

I don't mind Peter however he is so over rated it's crazy

 

Toney knows how to slip punches which prevents his opponents from clocking him square. Best chin in history? Yea, maybe for a middleweight. Lots of heavyweights can shake Toney, it's just that Toney hasn't faced them yet.

 

how does Peter look scared? if anything it's Maskaev who looks like he's choosing between 'fight or flight'...

 

No offense, but you've got that wrong. These can be confusing, but here's how it works;

Postive odds, as in +500 Maskaev, means that if you bet $100 on Maskaev-the underdog, you'll win $500 profit, (you'll get $600 back- the bet of $100, and a profit win of $500) The positive number is what you'll win on a $100 bet. Its a 500% return on investment, so to speak.

Negative odds, as in -600 Peter, means that you'll have to bet $600 in order to win $100 profit on Peter-the favorite. The negtive number is what you'll have to bet in order to win $100. Your initial bet of $600 will get you back $700- your initial bet of $600, plus a profit winning of $100. Which is roughly a 16.6% return on investment.

When the betting odds are near 100 plus or minus, the odds are close, but if they are far off from 100, as they are here, the odds are heavily in favor of one fighter over the other.

But I think Maskaev, at +500 odds, is going to make alot of people a sh*t pot ful of money when Oleg wins this fight.
