FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS SHANE MOSLEY LATEST ODDS AND TIPS

We're finally less than 24 hours away from the most widely-anticipated fight of the year with Floyd "Money" Mayweather taking on "Sugar" Shane Mosley in a 12 round slugfest. The bookmakers have made no mistake about which way they think this fight is going and those looking to bet the favoured outcome and go with the status quo will have to make due with a little less value, but you do get the rock-solid reputation of the undefeated Mayweather in your corner. 

William Hill is pricing Floyd Mayweather as the 1/5 favourite to win this match while Shane Mosley's odds to win are listed at 10/3. You can also back a draw at 25/1 but that isn't really worth the bet and rarely ever happens at this level. 
The over/under on rounds is set at 11.5, so you're basically betting on whether the fight will go the distance or not. If you think the fight ends at any point prior to the closing bell, you're looking at a 5/2 price tag. If you want to back the fight to go the distance, it trades at a very slim 2/7 price. 
The method of result betting is the key market for those looking to back Floyd Mayweather and his odds to win via decision pay out at 4/9 while a Mayweather victory by KO, TKO or DQ rewards at a much healthier 10/3 margin. I think there's a better chance of that happening than many observers will think because I get the feeling that Floyd doesn't want to just grind out another decision- he may want to make a serious statement to back up all the jaw-ing he's been doing over the past few weeks in the build up to this fight. 
Should Shane Mosley pull off a shock victory, he's well-priced in the method of victory market. You'll find a KO or TKO trading at 7/1 while a decision or technical decision is listed at 15/2. 
If you are looking to go for the KO or TKO victory, you can get some great odds in the round betting market if you can pinpoint exactly when the fight will end. Mayweather's favoured rounds to end the fight are between 5-11 where he's priced at 25/1. He is 28/1 for a final round victory and 33/1 to win in rounds 3 and 4. A round 2 victory is at 40/1 while a first round win pays a 50/1 margin. 
Shane Mosley's odds are at 40/1 for rounds 4-10. He is 50/1 for rounds 2, 3 and 11 while he also trades at 66/1 for rounds 1 and 12.
