Still waiting on odds for the Showtime junior middleweight championship triple-header, but a couple of plays on this WBSS bout in the meantime:

George Groves/Jamie Cox Under 9½ (+120) $75.00 for $90.00
George Groves/Jamie Cox won't go distance (-150) $150.00 for $100.00

I'm also eagerly awaiting odds at the major sportsbooks for the three Showtime junior middleweight title fights on Saturday. I will look hard at Lubin when he opens at + money and the same for Trout at what I expect will be moderate underdog odds. Lara as a favorite too if it's under -300.

Nice, I will be keeping an eye out for you post here. I'm hoping we get some good odds for Trout, as well. He was really competitive with Jermall his last time out and Hurd seems like a pretty basic come forward guy who imposes his massive size on smaller opponents. Gausha looks pretty good, but this is a huge step up in competition and can't see him outboxing Lara. -300 and under would be an absolute steal.

That seems like a common issue for PBC fights for some reason or thats a trend I feel like I've been seeing. I've been seeing a line for at least a couple weeks for the 115lb (-1300) Khalid Yafai vs (+800) Sho Ishida seemingly uncompetitive fight thats still 2 weeks & change away, but somehow there isn't a line for all these top 154lb guys that fight in 3 days where two of them feel like they could be close to pick em fights. Weird.

Didn't know it was a PBC thing. Can't be all of them though because Broner Garcia odds was out months before the fight.

It seems to me like there are more PBC cards with decent to good fights on them that odds don't get put out til late or sometimes at all.

Broner vs Mikey was probably too big to get avoided.

Idk what gets some fights listed on more sports books than other fights that are bigger, but I'd assume there to be some rhyme or reason why a 115lb fight gets listed early vs 3 fights of similar competitiveness if not more competitiveness at 154lb don't get listed with 3 days til the fight.

Maybe Americans aren't avid enough bettors as the UK fans as I always see UK fights or fights of importance to UK fans or promoted by UK promoters listed earlier than the average similar US fights. In particular Matchroom Boxing fights which that 115lb fight is. I mean I'm seeing lines on that next Natasha Jonas (2-0) fight in 2 days & I've been seeing that line.

Yeah, that makes sense because Kal is a UK boxer.

I'm not surprised that some of the UK and international boxing cards have odds released before the American cards, except for huge fights. There are many more UK and Euro sportsbooks that offer odds on boxing and some of them also have way more options for props, especially on UK bouts, as well as several of them offering live betting for televised boxing (and MMA) which is almost non-existent for the few major U.S. facing sportsbooks we're mostly forced to use. I am often jealous of some of my Canadian, European and UK betting friends that they have so many options for betting on combat sports.

Damn. Respect.

Sh^t man you need to start a boxing ******** podcast (something thats lacking, there are no less than 5 or so UFC ******** podcasts I can think of off the top of my head, but no boxing ******** podcast) & sell bets on some website or something like that MMA Luca Fury cat.

Im nothing special but thanks. The sites are just really strict with anyone that seems competent ...i think they use an algorithm on your winnings over designated periods of time and i was told they look at whether you just bet on 1 sport therefore may be knowledgeable on that sport.

The odds are out...
