Why is Joppy an 8-1 underdog?

[mic573]

man, neils, that was well said... but 8 -1 is a little ridiculous for a hyped up guy who's been giving beatdowns to small jr middleweight club fighters. Joppy may be shot, but at least he HAD skills. "Bad Intentions" will win but i'll be surprised if he doesn't have trouble getting rid of Joppy - i mean these bull**** odds are the result of people overestimating Taylor, he ain't anywhere near Tito's skill level and he sure as **** ain't anywhere close to Bhop's. Because Taylor's management have kept him sheltered for so long, when he steps up against a guy who can hurt him he's gonna get slaughtered. It';s easy to have great jab when the other guy can't reach you, maybe Joppy doesn't have enough left in the tank but Taylor's goin down when he faces a quality opponent. Sorry guys, i just don't think Taylor's all that great, he's more like a Sloppy Joe Messy than Bernard Hopkins

I agree I can't see how people think he is ready for Hopkins or Tito.

This guy is a pretty darn good fighter and he is a true middleweight somebody who Taylor hasn't really fought yet. I know Taylor is supposed to be the heir to the middleweight crown but this seems a little extreme to me.

The odds only reflects what the majority of the boxing betting public thinks . . . it is in no way an indication or have any bearing or what so ever on the might be outcome of the fight. It's just that there are so many people who thinks Taylor will beat JOP. That all in it.

I hope Joppy knocks him out...I'll bet on that Joppy by KO..30,000pts. any takers?

I'm interested in that . . . but what if Taylor doesn't get kayoed?

Let's just put it this way . . . can we raised it to 50? I'm for Taylor. If JOP wins by K.O. I'll pay you full, but if Taylor doesn't get K.O.ed even if Jops wins I'll pay you half (25). If Taylor wins irregardless how, you pay me full Is that acceptable?

joppy has no chance whats so ever...taylor is basically a light heavyweight......im sure we will see him in the ring with tarver someday

[strictlydope]

dont think joppy has much of a chance but 8-1 is a little crazy

[Mikie]

8-1 odds? I guess the oddsmakers are not giving Joppy no chance!

[Xecutioner]

where are there 8-1 odds to bet on? im definately laying some $$$ on joppy at 8-1 underdog. those odds are ridiculous. he should be at most a 3-1 underdog against someone who to this date has only shown POTENTIAL to be great.

[bchynn]

I'm not the only one that has noticed the long odds. Joppy has a great jab himself and Taylor isn't known for his combinations.

becauyse hes gonna lose?
