    Right! 35/2 (aka 17.5 to 1) is the best one I can find, although that's still too wide.
    There's a 50/1 for Nieky by decision though, over at Paddypower, but not nearly as wide outright.

    Mate, get with Betfair, you almost always get better odds at some point. Holzken is currently available at 22-1ish by any method. Because it's an exchange though sometimes liquidity is a problem. Not for bigger fights, but smaller ones quite often you have to wait near fight time. However you have the option of setting the odds you want and leaving it to see if it gets matched, sometimes you get a bite and get ridiculous odds.

    Yeah I agree it's looks wide, then again Smith might blast him out inside a minute and then it looks a little skinny LOL

    He is a late replacement and Smith has been training for Braehmer, also Smith has had one fight in around a year and half I believe, we don't know really if he has progressed, regressed or is still exactly the same.

    I see him 20-1 everywhere I have looked. I give him very little chance. Smith is too big for him. Holzken isnt ready for this level yet. Nowhere near. He is too green. If Smith feels the power he will just keep him on the outside. He is 4-5 inches bigger than this man.

    This. The hordes of idiotic MMA and casual fans who thought McGregor would win influenced the odds there.

    That was the easiest money of all time. Ended up clearing almost $3,000 on that fight.

    I held off only because they seemed too good to be true, and I'd seen too many crooked events to have faith it was on the level.

    Outside of that, it was free money betting on Money.

    He's a 0-1 underdog as in he's not gonna win. Who cares about mismatch odds?

    The OP is a bit confusing, Smith is 1/50 rather than Holzken being 50/1.

    A little wide, but you look at his sparring match with J'Leon Love, Love was taking it VERY easy on him, like he was sparring with a casual.

    No, Holzken is not a bum. He might lose but he will put up a real good fight. War Holzken!
