    I agree that Brook is favourite, just not a 1/9 favourite!

    Brook could end up taking some very solid shots in this fight, particularly to the body, which i dont think he has had to do yet in his career.

      I need to see more of the new Jones.
      I've heard he's improved vastly since the last time I saw him (an 06 fight).
      Right now I have the old Jones in my mind.... I'm basing my outcome off of that.
      I'll watch new tape of him and decide later who wins.... but for now, I think Brook at home seems like the safe bet

        Bet with your head not your heart.

        Usually they are huge favourites for a damn good reason. This is how bookies make their money!
        I used to get roped in seeing odds I found too tempting, its great when they come in but more often than not they don't.

        6/1 Carson Jones seems about right if anything I'd expect him to be a little more

          Remember a lot of people from Nottingham, Sheffield etc... the crappy UK towns/cities don't know much on boxing and simply bet on local favourites which creates high odds too.

            Utter rubbish & its shown time and time again by how Froch is nearly always an underdog as are many others.
            The only U.K fighter I see getting crazy odds is Amir Khan.

              Again that was because they don't know **** about boxing and a lot put bets on Bute. Everyone who follows boxing always looks out for an untested fighter and do not put 100% faith they will win.

                I was actually looking to bet on Brook at the time but was put off by how little reward i would get for what I consider to be quite a high risk...
