Do you guys remember that Beterbiev was un underdog against Gvozdyk?

[JakeTheBoxer]

It looks funny, but it is true. Now everybody says the opposite, but Beterbiev was un underdog before the fight.

Yep, but I thought he would win. Current lines - Bivol -150 to Betebiev +110

I believe the oddsmakers think he is just a slugger/pressure fighter.

Odds are pretty consistent when they envision him vs an A-level boxer.

Beterbiev was the favorite almost 2-1 what are you smoking? In fact it made
me drop coin on Gvozdyk and I found out about Beterbiev.

could be late smart money but Beterbiev was favorite you tripping.

[HeadShots]

Beterbiev was the favorite in that fight. I bet on him.



Gvozdyk is slow. OK handspeed but he walks around the ring like Callum Smith. to put it in reference, 42 yo adonis stevenson had visibly faster feet than Gvozdyk. I don't know why people compare him to Bivol.

if you can't keep distance, then it's a slugfest.

how could anyone bet against Beterbiev in a slugfest?

You idiots arguing about what the odds were, just look it up.

6 months before the fight on Bovada it was offering Beterbiev +110 and Gvozdyk -140. As the fight came closer the odds flipped to favor Beterbiev slightly. But it was always very close to 50/50 odds.
