FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS SHANE MOSLEY LATEST ODDS FROM WILLIAM HILL
It’s becoming more apparent by the day that Floyd Mayweather is the massive favourite for his May 1st clash with Shane Mosley and his odds are continuing to shorten with most of the popular European bookmakers. Top bookie William Hill has cut Mayweather’s odds to a very slim 1/5 to win the match by any method with Mosley listed at a 10/3 price tag. The draw is trading at a 25/1 margin, but it’s never worth backing the draw at this level.
With such low outright odds on Mayweather to win the match, you’ve got to figure out how he’s actually going to win the match in order to get any decent volume on this one. You can take Mayweather to win the match on points and that’s a very heavily-favoured option. It is now trading at a slim 1/2 price, but that’s still a shade better than the 1/5 listing on the outright market.
The big payoff is for punters looking to back Mayweather to beat “Sugar” Shane Mosley by a KO or TKO. It’s currently priced at around 16/5 and I actually think that the price is going to increase as we get closer to the fight. If you’re looking to back Mayweather to win via decision or technical decision then you definitely need to get in there and lock-in the price right now. I would advise holding out if you’re looking to back him to win by KO or TKO.
Shane Mosley to pull off a dramatic upset pays out at 7/1 by decision and 13/2 by KO, TKO or DQ. Both fighters have a tendency to go the distance and that doesn’t exactly bode well for those looking to back a finish that doesn’t involve the judges.
If you are looking to have a punt on the fight finishing before the end of the 12th- you should definitely check out the round betting market. Floyd Mayweather’s preferred rounds are from 5-11 where you’ll find him listed at a 25/1 price. He is 28/1 to win in the final round and 33/1 for a rounds 3-4 victory. He’s priced at 40/1 for round 2 and 50/1 for round 1.
Shane Mosley is priced at 40/1 to win in rounds 4-11 while rounds 11, 2 and 3 all trade at 50/1. He is 66/1 in round 12 and round 1.
