The odds for season 2 of the WBSS are out. Prograis is 13/8 and Taylor is 5/2. Relikh is 12/1, which might be worth betting on, then cashing out after the first round. On the other side Inuoe is a massive favourite at 8/13, while Tete, Rodriguez and Burnett are all around 5/1.

Parker
Takam

just under 2/1

Easy cover on whyte on points once takam wins

there is value in inoue at those odds

for burnett to be on tete's and rodriguezs level is laughable imo. and if burnett faces tete or inoue i would jump on inoue or tete by ko

Eleider Alvarez better than 3\1 vs a quickly fading Kovalev with money piling on Kovalev.

I probably still edge Kovalev in a tough fight but if I can get 4\1 on Eleider I'm seeing great value.

He's still a top LHW for now but I feel he's lost a step. He's just not looked the same to me since Ward 1.
There was a time he was quite dynamic back when he fought cleverly, Campillo etc these days he looks flat and ponderous. That spring in his steps gone he can't glide in and out and control range like he once did.
His feet were all over the place vs Mikhalkin.
I don't see Kovalev prior to Ward 1 having any problem with a guy like that. Regardless of low blows etc he looked awful in the Ward rematch too.
I don't see anything special in Eleider like a slightly better Pascal really but I just feel Kovalev isn't what he was. I don't think he's mentally all that strong either. A stereotypical bully really.
