I have Joshua KO -120. Don't think I'll add anything to it, but we'll see.

Probably on Canelo decision the next week, haven't seen any markets for it yet tho...

Yea I probably got a similar overall betting strategy as you with the dog betting.

And I like the under a lot myself. Joshua hasn't even been that deep + Klitschko doesn't usually let guys go that deep so I think there are a lot of obstacles in this matchup that will likely end it before we get halfway into the 9th round. That's what most of my money is on with this fight.

I'm largely staying away from who wins the fight cuz I definitely feel like Joshua is being oversold a lot & Klitschko is being undersold a lot so there is more value in betting Klitschko, but idk if I like his odds to win as much as its paying out is the thing with throwing much on all that.

Whats the logic on the TKO bets? UK refs being quick to jump in when a guy is hurt, a lot of or most of Joshua's stoppages being of that sort already or something else?

I think it's a combination of UK refs habit to stop a fight prematurely, all of Klitschkos KO losses were by TKO and since Joshua stepped up his competiton, he only KOed Charles Martin, who in all earnesty could have beat the count, but didnt want to.

[JimGunn]

Yeah, EffPandas, as asgarth surmised, that was my thinking with the TKO props. It's rare that sportsbooks make a distinction with KO or TKO anyway, but on a big fight like this we get a lot of specific props and I liked the value on those over +2xx. I don't necessarily imagine Wlad getting knocked out cold and stiff on the canvas, but rather the referee jumping in if he's hurt or been knocked down and stands up wobbly. Just like all his previous stoppage losses were TKO, not KOs. I'm taking a chance on the referee call here, but at those prices, so be it.

Taking Klitshko to win outright at 2/1. Will add a bit more to my line either tonight or tomorrow.

[Scary]

Round 6, 7 & 10 was my initial belief.

Im leaning towards covering potential loses by going for WK win with a smaller bet.

Now I'm feeling it might even go a bit later, 7th, 9th, 11th. Potentially a main bet on AJ win, but I'm looking to better the route somehow, anight go with AJ on KO instead.

This might change after the weight in, still. I'll spend all afternoon thinking and debating this fight with the guys. Simply intriguing.

(Even AJ on points is open for business.)
