Just had a look on bet365 and £100 on all the favourites for tonight's Matchroom show pays £161.28, that's for 7 bouts-

Moreno (1/33) [For what it's worth it's great to see Moreno over here]
Smith (1/100) [Really don't understand this bout]
Gavin (1/100)
Etches (1/3) [Solid match up, even if the odds don't really reflect it]
McDonnell (1/10)
Yafai (1/100)
and Brook (1/16) [Mandatory]

Hmmmm

Remind me who is Moreno fighting?

He was listed to fight Robbie Turley, they'd void the bet meaning the 6-fold would return £156.54!

When was it canned? :(

Really? Most bizarre match in, how long? I mean Christ on a bike abner fkin mares, if you took away the dirty tactics, could barely hit Moreno with the proverbial bag of sand. Am i going out on a limb if i say Turley is no abner mares?

Was pulled sometime last week, some sort of issue on Moreno's side, although from what I'd read, the board weren't too keen on the fight, so it might have something to do with that. They shoved Stephen Smith on in an 8 rounder as a replacement.

Hmmmm

The odds for McDonnell and Yafai look to be the wrong way round, Yafai's opponent may be no world beater but he looks much better than McDonnell's opponent (who won 7 of his fights vs debutante and hasn't fought since 2013).

Gav McDonnels fight for the Euro is a joke.

Looking forward to Etches v Khomitsky though

Well the bookies got the Ethes fight wrong,bookies odds are not always a true reflection of a fights competitiveness the bookies just give no value to the home fighter in these fights all British fights sre usually the better fight for betting.no way should Etches been 1-3 saying that backing the away fighter can be good in these fights.

The bookies odds are merely a reflection of the bets placed, their objective is to minimise their exposure / maximise their returns rather than to correctly predict the result of a fight - it could be that Etches is a decent ticket ticket seller and quite a few bet him to win whereas very few bet his opponent to win.

Exactly, that's why it annoys me when people use the odds to shit on a fight.It makes for a poor argument but some people think that the bookies odds is gospel.
