GGG -350 Canelo +265 yikes..

[johnm is...]

Also, that's going to put Canelo somewhere in the neighborhood of like +500 to win by decision. And we all know if Canelo stays upright, he has a chance to win on the cards, regardless of how the fight plays out.

I never understood that plus minus stuff. What does this mean?

The minus means that fighter is favored. -350 means GGG is a 3.5 to 1 favorite versus Canelo. In betting it means you have to bet $3.50 on GGG to win a dollar.

... "GGG -350 Canelo +265 yikes"...

Don't show this to Oscar and Canelo -- they might change their minds instantly...

[Dr Rumack]

That's an attractive price for Canelo. I think Dwyer will be picking Canelo by KO with the decision as a hedge.

[Butt stuff]

The odds reflect him not waking up.

I assume they'll turn all the TV cameras 90º so it looks like Canelo is upright and GGG rolling around on the floor. Canelo by KO, place your bets!

[FrankieClutch]

This.

Or $35 to win $10

$10 to win $26.50

etc.

The confusing part for most people is remembering that 'minus' means 'favorite' - a lot of people assume it's the other way around.

After that, just remember that for the favorite, "bet x to win $100" and for underdog "bet $100 to win x"

-350 means you bet $350 to win $100
+265 means you bet $100 to win $265

The minus means that fighter is favored. -350 means GGG is a 3.5 to 1 favorite versus Canelo. In betting it means you have to bet $3.50 on GGG to win a dollar.

I see! Thanks fellas!

I think in the end a decision either way will be the best bet. With the Canelo judges anything is possible. Mayweather may have won 11 rounds to 1 against Canelo and he still only got a majority decision.

Canelo is far and away the best fight GGG has faced. Canelo's defense is good enough, his power is good enough, that I actually expect GGG to box Canelo like he did Lemieux.

I'm sure a decision will get better than even odds.

Just remember, the opinion you should follow should be your own...just consider this to be a second opinion....from a complete stranger......online.

[Willy Wanker]

Doesn't surprise me too much.

A lot of fans on this site try to make Canelo out to be this boxing, counter-punching wizard and the most skilled fighter in boxing ever since Floyd retired.

Once GGG knocks him out, people will just bring up Ward again and Canelo will go back to feasting on 140/147 guys. I'm sure Bradley, Ruslan, and Matthysse are getting primed as Canelo's next opponents.

Canelo cant fight relaxed at GGG pace .

GGG has the better jab and left hook to the body.

GGG stops canelo inside of 5 rounds.
I think canelo will realize he hits too hard
And will go down on a body shot and just say he got caught. Thats if he ever signs a contract which I doubt. The A side trend is to avoid the big fights at all cost nowadays . Wait the opponent out and hope they lose
