Is Taylor a good bet at +200 underdog??

I'd say it's a decent bet......I don't think he's gonna win tho. If there is a bet that it will end inside the distance I'd take that tho.

is it worth puttin some money on Taylor for saturdays rematch vs Pavlik??

those odds are pretty damn good... $100 wins you somethin like $200 last time i checked.

I like his chances, considering a Taylor win sets things up for a GRAND 3rd Fight.

I'm picking Pavlik, but 2-1 odds is a very fair price. If I liked Taylor at all I'd take that.

It is good odds because Pavlik is some what unproven at the top stage.

You're getting a good price if you like Taylor to win (I don't). If I bet on this one, I'm probably taking Pavlik inside the distance.

yea absolutely 2-1 is probably worth it

where did you get those odds? I wanted to bet on Taylor but checked bodog and they have him at +150, or something like that, so it's not worth it to me because it's such a tough fight to call. If it were 2-1 I'd bet on him fasho.

I think it's a good bet because for one, Taylor nearly KO'd pavlik the first fight, and two because Taylor is a better boxer and more athletic than Pavlik.

The only thing though is no one can predict how Taylor will rebound after getting KO'd, not even he does until he takes that first solid punch or two.

No matter how good the odds are, making someone a favorite or an underdog, if the person loses, you lose.

You gotta go with who's gonna win. Pavlik, I think, is gonna take this one. (Says the guy with the Taylor prediction in his signature and the bet in favor of Taylor)

I'm still not betting on this fight, as a certain kind of ref in the first fight, and we have a different outcome.

^^Well right, but if Pavlik was a big underdog it would be worth it for you to bet on him.

It's about risk/reward to me, when it comes to boxing. Why bet on someone who is the favorite to win when the odds are so close? The reward is so small. Example, if you bet $100 on pavlik, you're not going to win much money at all. It's not worth the risk, imo

If it's a close fight like this one and the odds are INCREDIBLY in favor of Pavlik. Go for Taylor. For one, you'd win less with Pavlik, anyway. And you also have to go with less on Taylor, to win way more.

But the odds are close, so you should make a smaller bet, no matter who you go for. And you should probably go with the favorite, who most think would win anyway.
