Is Roy the favourite to win?

[BetterCallSaul]

In the last few days the tide has turned in this forum and now Jones seems to be the favourite to win tonight. A couple of weeks ago the majority of this board seemed to think this would be a straight decision win for Calzaghe and that this version of Roy was not to be feared. This is now not the case. People seem to have much more confidence in Roy now and think he will be something of his old self tonight. He looks in great shape and has an aura of confidence around him. Even the boxing "experts" have picked up on this and a lot of them favour Jones now.

I just find this very weird. A couple of months ago people were writing off this fight saying that Calzaghe should be fighting Pavlik, and that by fighting Roy, Calzaghe was picking on the weaker boxer. We now know this is not the case.

So, is Jones the favourite, and if he is, would a win for Calzaghe be a greater achievement than some people would give credit for?

i've been on roys side from the beggining
he'll win

He's definitely the underdog going into the fight, I'm not sure what the official odds are, and it would be a great achievement being able to beat one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.

Yes you're correct Roy is favorite, so will you give me 2:1 odds on Calzaghe?

[djsygo]

he was a 4 to 1 underdog until few days ago, now he still underdog but hes 3.25 to 1. Also his win by ko went from 10/1 to 8/1

Yeah its funny, after the trinidad fight when people were discussing of a likely match up of RJJ vs Calzaghe i was hit with bad karma and all kinds of hate pms for even mentioning that Roy had a slight chance.

Joe is still the betting favourite although funnily enough not as much of a favourite as he was in the Hopkins fight.
