LMAOOO Im gonna make so much money tonight. I even made a small bet of $50 that he exits the ring in a stretcher lol. We'll see.
Hahaha what odds did you get for that?
Im tempted to bet Chilemba for the upset
It really wouldn't be a bad idea - Gvozdyk is a talent in my eyes but Chilembas had success against a couple of other touted EE prospects in Lepikhin and Vlasov, though neither would have been considered on Oleksander's level. Isaacs a tough, tough dude with considerable skills and he's a significant step up for the Ukrainian.
Can't remember what the odds were but I remember thinking they seemed too wide to me.
I like both these guys, but I made a $2,000.00 bet with a friend about 6 months ago. I took Kovalev.
I lost 2 other $1,000.00 bets to my buddy. I had Porter over Thurman, and I had Provodnikov over Matthysse.
Kovalev looked over-trained, kind of drawn and shrunken. Ward looked strong and ready.
I think its going to be the fight of the year.
You're right Andre Ward is not too talent, I relent. Can we discuss how great GGG is please and how much he would trouble Kovalev as Kovalev is just going to have a cake walk tonight, I don't even know why I was going to watch it tonight now.
Don't get butthurt. I didn't say Ward is not a top talent, just that he's not heavy handed, as the results show.
I'm holding Aces in my hands I dont need to be humble! thats a losers mentality! how the hell should anyone doubt Ward? I dont understand...ya'll believed the hype but watch in a few hours you going to say '' I cant believe I thought this guy was special ''.
Kovalev is a special talent which makes a Ward victory all the more impressive, kudos and credit where due and both deserve truck loads.
What you should say is you THINK Ward will dominate. Nobody knows the winner in advance. If they did they should bet their last dime on that guy and I doubt you did that.

He's not heavy handed. He threw the kitchen sink at undersized scrub Brand, didn't come close to knocking him out or even down. Miranda, Green went the distance, they always get stopped vs top talent.

I believe Ward is a solid favorite to win but he hasn't won yet and I still believe Kovalev will knock Ward out. We will all know in less than 10 hours who beat who or if it was a draw.
... you believe but you don't put your money on it, right?
I respect your honesty. Ward is too slick too seasoned...no money is balancing out the odds : the line is going to continue to drop this is no longer about leveling the line -- its dropped to far at this point...Ward is going to dominate.What you should say is you THINK Ward will dominate.

... For instance, I don't... I'm afraid that your guy will sink this fight into a NC or something... So I'm not placing any money at the bookies...

It just dropped again another 10% @-165 for S.O.G - they know what time it is...these guys are not putting no money on Kovalev - the writing is on the wall.

You have to remember that the market moves with the bets being placed.
If there's more American/Ward fans putting bets on Ward, then the market will shift and his odds will continue to get shorter.
If some late money starts going on Kovalev which often happens, then the odds will be closer come fight time.
Bingo ^^
It happens almost every time when a big, 50/50 fight is happening.
Odds on Pac against Floyd were at its lowest in the fight week as well.
It just dropped another 10% @ -175!!! we went from even to 145 to 165, now -175!!! bwahahaha! Please someone put some money on Kovalev I dare you! bwahahahaha!!!
That doesn't necessarily mean it's elite power though. Timing and accuracy. The same thing happens vs Mayweather. But in his case it's timing, accuracy AND speed. It's not his "power" per se.
Ward is heavy handed, Kovalev is heavier handed.
Fück the odds, this is a genuine 50/50 Ward has the skill and defence Kovalev has the power and timing. Both have boxig talent in abundance, speed, skills timing, superb defences, elite power and the work rate only true champions have.
The loser is still p4p no.3, the winner IS NO.1.
This is the real Fight of the Century, yet taking place in their primes and not during insignificance or when one is on the slide.
Ward has elite power?
You don't think his opponents are deterred by coming forwards after he's hit them ? This the reason he makes his wins look so one sided, he busts his opponents up physically and mentally.
