Long time MMA watcher but I haven't followed the streamer boxing fights. I was wondering how come the betting odds have Nate Diaz as an underdog vs Jake Paul? Anyone actually watched him and is he legit? It looks like he only fought Anderson Silva who was a striker but he is a muay thai guy and was 47, while Nate diaz has some boxing background and is much younger.

kimbo305 posted:Being familiar with the ruleset is key for Jake Paul, who has bad gas but can pace himself well enough to stay out of trouble. He’s had enough fights at this point to know how to score without exerting too much. Diaz’s grinding style doesn’t work as well in boxing because of the breakups of extended clinching. Interesting thanks. So is a huge favorite or is it more like 60-40 for Jake?

Eat This Glob posted:iirc, prizefighting odds aren't necessarily a predictor on who is gonna win, it's a reflection on who is being bet on. the more people/money that bet on paul (or any favorite), the more enticing the odds will be for bettors on diaz (or any dog) because books genuinely want money bet on both fighters. the bigger the favorite, the less return on your bet. books basically want there to be as little risk to them as possible. I mean that is what it is in most cases the market has the right favorite but it definitely seems like in these showmatch type situations it's harder to get a read and there is way more stupid money involved.
