Vegas has Broner as a 6 to 1 underdog vs Garcia

[Kigali]

Sounds about right.

Those odds will shrink significantly as the fight nears.

Just watch.

[BucaRican]

Yeah if you gonna bet on Broner, now is the time. The closer the fight gets the lower those are going. 2 to1 I expect by fight time.

[RyanjLarose]

Mikey is not winning this fight.

spoken like a true cuck

[WesternChamp]

yeah, im putting some money down on broner. never been impress with mikey.

I'm trying to figure out if this has more to do with how highly they think of Garcia or how little they think of Broner. I think it's probably the latter considering they have odds for Linares vs. Garcia as well and Linares is only a 3-1 underdog.

Its neither. Obviously they are not getting enough bets in on Broner to balance their risk, so they put out attractive odds to entice bettors to lay money on Broner. If they start getting in decent money on Broner then the odds will drop to 5-1, 4-1, or whatever slows it down.

Vegas' only goal is to have the same level of risk on both sides of the fight.....

Vegas is usually right ya know. People were shocked at how wide the odds were for Stevenson-Fonfara II and then Stevenson fed him punch after punch w/o trouble

Also I think in general it seems that the oddsmakers don't like picking a fighter with multiple losses over an undefeated fighter.

Yup, Vegas is about taking $ not giving it out. These vegas oddsmakers have insiders everywhere. But my guess is a lot is banking on Broner being in camp to cut weight moreso than train for Mikey. The odds will probably go lower like 3-1 as the fight nears and Broners weight comes off. If the odds increase more than 6-1 than thatll say a lot about Broners weight cut.

Either way 6-1 is a good grab, I think Broner has a better chance than what is being assumed.

[LomaLovkin]

Never been impressed with Mikey either, he's good but don't feel he's Broner good.

Will shell out a few bills on this one, hoping there won't be an answer for the Problem.

[King Jaffe Joffer]

He is at +600 thats what 6 to 1 means kind sir

Yeah it seems too wide but then again, this is Broner. AB fas flat out lost to Maidana and Porter and fought to the brink against the likes of De Leon, old Paulie, Taylor, and now recently Granados. Any real elite guy would have stormed through those guys. Broner has not shown anything that would lead me to believe he can beat a boxer like Garcia.

At first I predicted a not so tougher fight for Garcia. But then who did Garcia beat that someone hasn't already beaten, except a small, mediocre Zlaticanin? Could he drop Broner and never get up? No one hasn't. Point is this fight should either last the distance with Garcia winning in the scorecards or Mikey getting KO'd.
