FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS SHANE MOSLEY LATEST BETTING TIPS
With the Mayweather vs Mosley fight just a few short days away, the betting markets are heating up big-time as all the top bookmakers are rolling out the enhanced odds and extra markets to give boxing fans something extra to bet on for this widely-anticipated fight. While Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been walking about the past few days infuriating boxing purists with his contention that he is “better than Ali” he definitely remains an extremely strong favourite to win the fight with popular bookmaker Boylesports listing him as the slim 1/5 favourite.
Shane Mosley is trading at a 7/2 price to take the unlikely victory and you’ll also find the draw at 25/1- what a story that would be! Boylesports is offering up arguably the best price on the internet for a Floyd Mayweather victory by decision or technical decision. You’ll find it priced at 8/13 and it’s been trading as low as 3/10 with some other bookmakers.
Floyd Mayweather to KO Mosley pays out at 11/4 while a victory by Shane Mosley is now considered more likely to come via decision. You’ll find that priced at 6/1 and that’s interesting because previously the odds were shorter on Mosley to win by KO or TKO. You’ll find that priced at 15/2 now and it looks like those odds have done a reverse over the past few weeks.
By all considerations, this match is favoured to go the distance by a considerable margin. Even if you take over 9.5 rounds, you’re still looking at a miniscule 2/9 price tag. The fight is priced at 2/5 directly to go the distance while the fight to end by any means before the end of the 12th round is a slim 2/1. I think a corner stoppage is probably your best bet there.
A knockdown happening in the Mayweather-Mosley fight is priced at 6/4 while no knockdowns pays out at 8/15. Those expecting a boring match will probably side with the no knockdown bet despite the shorter odds.
Should the fight end before going to the judges, Mayweather’s best rounds to win are rounds 7-10, inclusive where he’s priced at 25/1. He’s 33/1 for rounds 4-6, 11 and 12. You’ll find him at 40/1 for rounds 2 and 3 and 50/1 for an unlikely first round victory.
Sugar Shane Mosley is priced at 66/1 for every round but the 1st and the 12th where he trades at 80/1. Grouped round betting is available as well if you’re looking to put a few rounds together at a reduced price.
I’m actually going to go out on a limb and say that this fight won’t go the distance- based purely on the eternal hunt for a value bet. I think Boylesports has the best price on a Mayweather decision victory and that has been the overwhelming method for a while. But there’s something about his demeanour that makes me think he is going to go full-tilt here and try to win by KO or TKO.
