wtf, taylor is so fucking overrated

I'm only familiar with British odds so I'm guessing thats around 2/1?

I think Ouma has a chance. If he's not overpowered by Taylor you could make a very good argument that he will outwork him.

I always thought Winky Wright would be too small to trade with Taylor but he showed that wasn't the case. If Ouma is strong enough for the weight he could make life very awkward for JT.

I expect Taylor to win but I get the feeling this will be yet another points win, and a fight in which he doesn't look all that good.

Thats pretty good odds for all three fights, although I'm suprised that Quartey is considered a bigger longshot than Manfredo.

By the way, what are the odds for Quintana and Clottey?

The +/- number is based on a $100 bet. If you bet $100 when someone is +500 (5:1) you would win $500. If someone was -250 (1:2.5) you would need to bet $250 to win $100.
