help me understand why devon is at -215

[UL1210]

I've seen Matthyse as high as +185 which I would take if I could get any money online. I think Matthyse gets a late round TKO. Devon doesn't have the heart to face the non-stop pressure that will come for 12 rounds

kotelnik is a legit fighter unline matthyse....what the hell has he done to make you think he can beat devon? beating a shot to hell corley?

Its the typical boxer vs. brawler fight, where usually, the faster boxer is winning the first half and the brawler comes on in the second half of the fight. Could go like that, may not, but Matthysse can punch really well and Devon although with quick hands and feet, he will slow down, both guys have power and I think both probably can land that punch to knock each other out. Being fought in St. Louis and Devon being a King fighter causes a little concern for Matthysse backers also. Also weve seen enough of Devon, good and not so good, to know he's beatable, odds are about right if you ask me, if anything Id probably put a little on Matthysse, and I still might.

I hope now you see why Devon wasnt a bigger favorite, I thought he should have been maybe -185 myself.

but thats the thing....part of the line is knowing he will get a hometown decision if he doesnt get completely destroyed.

No actual "knowing" thats why there are odds, he was almost knocked out.
