Something Is Up With Round 8.5 In The Betting Line For May-Mac

[Scipio2009]

Ok. So now we know how this fight is going to play out. Mayweather knocks out Conor in the 8th!

So Mayweather by KO is +300 for exact method odds. Mayweather in Round 8 is +1600.

Time to make some money!

Feel froggish if you want, but remember this is still boxing we're talking about.

McGregor is going to be clearly the bigger man, and Floyd hasn't been one-punching anyone since his time at 135lbs; if it's just a matter of exhaustion, we've all seen fights where corners (and refs, tbh) have let fights go far longer than needed to give fighters a chance to see the final bell.

Kept my money in my pocket, tbh.

Connor is a supreme athlete he can go 36 minutes with one hand behind his back.

Couldn't even go 8 minutes with Nate Diaz

Diaz is a naturally bigger world class athlete who was choking him out.

Given the choice I'd rather get punched in the face and choked out.

Well sure, fair point but there's many ways to get to a knockout. Suppose Floyd comes out and puts that work in on the body for the first 7 rounds? Next thing you know McGregor opens up and gets put to sleep in round 8 and Floyd puts the cherry on top of win #50.

Check this out...

FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS CONOR MCGREGOR – TOTAL ROUNDS
Odds as of August 9 at Bovada
OVER 8.5 -105
UNDER 8.5 -135

Over 8.5 Rounds is at -105 easily the best odds of all the rounds. Is Vegas saying this fight isn't going to get to round 9?

The odds for this round seem stark and jump out at you when looking the odds for the other rounds. Something seems fishy. Someone in Vegas is expecting something big to happen in round 8 it seems.

Not surprising...

Looking at a towel coming in, a lot of p1ssed off fans who were dumb enough to buy it, yada, yada...

And so the world keeps turning...

Conor will be stopped in rd 7.

You know, I keep seeing more and more people saying this. That Conor's corner is going to throw in the towel.

Conor doesn't seem like that kind of dude, just to give up. I think it's more likely he gets frustrated as hell, and pulls some MMA type s**t on Floyd rather than leave in disgrace by throwing in the towel.

Connor is a supreme athlete he can go 36 minutes with one hand behind his back.

i think he could beat 5 elite level boxers at the same time with one hand behind his back. if you put mayweather, golovkin, canelo, andre ward, anthony joshua, and vic darchinyan all in there at once with mcgregor, he would win that fight with 1 hand behind his back.

i know that's 6 fighters, but i said 5 elite level boxers. mcgregor is just that good that darchinyan wouldnt even make a difference.

they shouldnt even bother showing the fight. just give mcgregor the victory now, because it's pretty obvious he's gonna win.

mark my words, he will throw a 42-punch combo in the first second of the fight and kill mayweather. dude is unreal. i already have him in the IBHOF.

if the betting is on eight, something will happen in that round most likely. may not be the towel but some kind of craziness will ensue. Always does in fights like this.
