FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS SHANE MOSLEY LATEST ODDS

We’re hearing some pretty harsh words being thrown around in the build up to the Floyd Mayweather vs “Sugar” Shane Mosley bout on May 1st. Understandably, Mayweather comes into the fight as a very short-priced favourite with popular bookmaker BET365 listing him at a 2/9 price for the outright victory.

The odds are so skewed in favour of Floyd Mayweather to win via decision that the over/under on rounds is set at 11.5 in a 12 round fight. If you think the fight is going to be over 11.5 rounds then you’ve got a microscopic 2/7 payout while the fight ending at any point before the end of the 12th round pays out at 5/2.
The odds on Floyd Mayweather winning by decision are trading at 4/7 with a Mayweather KO, TKO or DQ victory rewarding at 4/1. If Shane Mosley can pull off a shock victory (and some boxing observers are planning to do so) you’re looking at 11/2 for the decision and a full 7/1 should he win by KO, TKO or corner stoppage. A draw or technical draw at any point is at 20/1, but save your money because that doesn’t really happen at this level.
