One of the books has Ward as a -163 favorite. IIRC, that's down from -125 about a week ago. It seems as if the betting public is aware of what everyone here with at least 1/2 of a brain cell knows..

Definitely no surprise as the boxer usually has the advantage in rematches due to being able to figure out the puncher. BUT, this will still be a tough fight for Ward.

You are just as arrogant and rude as your beloved Ward. You say anybody with at least half a brain cell knows Ward will win. Nobody knows who will win until the fight is over. I am betting on Kovalev to win by KO and will get back 5 dollars for every dollar I bet if Kovalev wins by KO. I might lose my bet but that doesn't make me stupid. Last fight Kovalev knocked Ward down and about 75% of viewers polled thought Kovalev won. So betting on Ward is not that smart and betting on Kovalev is not that stupid.

I got Kovalev at +145. I bet Kovalev because I thought he won the first fight. I want to see him KO ward.

Just curious, what kind of odds can I get for the opposite happening?

What is the payoff if Ward stops Kovalev?

That's suprising.

For all the "everyone knows it was a robbery", $money$ has a way of revealing the truth.

Personally, I think it's still damn close to 50/50. I don't have a lot of faith in Kovalev's camp. Which seems to be mostly him deciding what's good for him. But, the factor I think helps Kovalev is that there was controversy in the first and I think judges will me more inclined to give swing rounds to Kovalev this time around.

If the fight is as close as it was last time I agree the judges will favor Kovalev. I have a feeling we might get a better performance from Ward with a SD win for Kovalev.

I'll say it now, having the HBO judge is not a good sign for Ward. All you would need is one of the other judges to score the fight for Kovalev and it's a rap.
