[BoxingUpdates]

When even the bookmakers are shrugging their shoulders, you know it's a tough fight to call. Surveying the numbers for Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk at some of the major regulated U.S. online sportsbooks as of this writing (prices can fluctuate), we see that...

I like usyk but that pic makes it look like two gay dudes at prom.

Exactly. What are the odds for a ***** being thrown into the ring and someone trips on it and gets knocked out?

There is an underdog and it's fury

Usyk is a massive favourite.

I have got Usyk schooling Fury on Saturday night.

I'm not sure who wins this one. It could depend on what version of Fury appears.

He's bigger, has height and reach advantage, but Usyk is the better pure boxer.

About knockdowns, one can debate the Dubois body punch. I stand corrected, but if recall correctly, Usyk was knocked down by Beterbiev in the amateurs. Correct me if wrong.

I have a feeling the rounds could be difficult to score. Let's hope the judges see clearly and only score the punches landed cleanly.

I think Turki wants Fury to win, but hope that's no influence on the judges.

the fight game is one sport i dont have to bet on it has always been that way without effort something about a fight that draws me in takes no incentive as far as money goes just a natural draw for me always has been. Dont mean i dont put a few bucks on a fight but not as a living or a way to prove anything in a bout. Anyhow enjoy the fights over the weekend it should be at the very least very interesting and controversial in some way and even if it isnt someone will write up and true to muddy the waters and make it seem that way.

That photo is like a ultra gay guy and his partner with a 'tache and earring. Fury did say he was going to take Uysk out for dinner afterwards. Now I am realizing why.

Usyk wins the fight. Fury wins on the dance-floor and in the bedroom after

Clearly the fans are divided. They move the odds. I’ve got Fury in this one. I think it’ll be a clear victory, possibly by KO.

Thanks Eric.

3 value(ish) bets I have earmarked are:

-Usyk is 13/2 on b365 to win via technical knockout. Something which may end up happening if the cut above Furys eye is opened by punches midway through the fight.

-With how much is at stake and the danger each man brings to the ring part of me is expecting a dull clash of styles and I wouldn't be surprised if one guy has the others number convincingly when they try to box each other for the distance. UD either man is 6/5 (better than evens)

-Third one is actually from the undercard. Kabayel has done well to get this far and he's a tough guy but I expect Sanchez to win 13 of the 12 rounds. Possibly not that wide but certainly a fight I see Sanchez taking control off once he's figured a few things out. Sanchez UD - 11/5, any decision - 8/5
