Frampton-Donaire Odds

[fvanesbeck]

I know Donaire is past his best and has already been KO'd at 126, but I find the odds in this fight to be very one sided:

Frampton - 1/6


Donaire - 9/2


Especially when you consider that Frampton looked like dog**** in his last fight.

I know Frampton will probably get the decision in Belfast if it's a close fight but even so, I see it as a much closer fight than the odds suggest.

I think the fact that Frampton looked horrible in his last fight probably warrants the odds being a little closer, but if he's back on form then this is a mismatch.

But remember the bookies odds are not a complete reflection of the likely outcome, that is only a part of how bookies come up with odds. They always seem to be interpreted this way but it's a misconception which gets thrown around a lot.

The best form of Donaire beats the best form of Frampton imo. Question now is who's nearer to their best form come fight night?

Yeah problem with that is Donaire's best was probably at Bantamweight. So not sure if his best would have been enough even way back when. But he's past it now on top of being a naturally smaller fighter. It's a tough ask, Frampton is a top fighter.

Donaire can still punch though and I think that is his chance.

For sure a dog or pass fight, but I think I'd pass. Good luck if you decide to take a stab at it doe.

He's had success at smaller weights but he's an inch taller and has a 6 inch reach advantage. He's just not naturally very stocky.

I may throw some $$ on Donaire - I think he's great value at those odds.

I'm gonna throw in some money on Donaire win those are very good odds. Despite being past his best, that power is still there.

I am talking natural size. Not dimensions, a lot more comes into it when talking natural size or best fighting weight.

Why not? Best to get the odds now, they will probably narrow closer to the fight.

Good fight but frampton is much fresher and should be able to outpoint donaire over 12

Donaire is being underrated here and that's a good thing cause I think he has a really good shot.

Donaire 5.00. I wonder what the odds will be for a KO victory?
