    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.

    Bodog lines are ****.. That said. I'm not finding Taylor at +200 anywhere I bet either. +165 is the best I can get on Taylor... But like I said earlier, I don't think Taylor can win.

        That's the point. With a relatively small amount of money to put on it, you shoudl just go for Pavlik, the favorite. Even though Taylor has a chance, it's not the most likely thing. And, if you lose, regardless of the odds, you lose.

        Making bets on underdogs are, generally, for one time betters, or for once in a while things. Usually, you just gotta pick who will win. You win less money, but the more bets you make, the more you win. Catch bets when the odds are the closest to even you can find them.

          Well right, I agree with that, if you're betting on multiple fights all the time, just pick the winners. But I'm a casual gambler (and I also happen to think Taylor is going to win).

            On the other hand, if you think the fight is a 50/50 proposition you should take the 2-1 odds. If someone offered you 2-1 odds on red or black in roulette, you'd probably take it.

              I sent you a PM. But I don't see what it will hurt posting it here. I play most of my boxing bets at 5dimes. More fights offered, more prop bets, better odds (usually) and it's one of the few places i've found that you can parlay boxing/mma bets. No problem getting your money off the site either.

                I see what you're saying. But in a fight like this one, where most people (not I) believe it could go either way, and you can get Taylor at 2:1, then you should take it.

                  i would say at 2/1 that taylor is a good bet. especially as he seems to have developed a hunger for boxing since that defeat 1st time around, that wasn't there before

                    Thanks.

                    I found odds, Taylor wins inside distance +395

                    What do you guys think about that?

                      Great odds, if you think Taylor TKO's Pavlik. I don't see it happening though.
