A little too high considering it's Crawford's first bout at 147, but Crawford is definitely the heavy favorite. Rightfully so.

Just about right thank you very much. I have backed Horn in his last four fights so he owes me nothing and I am on him again for this one. I took 7 to 1 on him early but if the odds keep climbing and I have a few wins in the next few weeks l may invest more.

I agree with ninetyercent that the odds are fine. Although I don't agree that a bet on him is a winning proposition.

I've seen odds on the fight ranging from 16-1 to 22-1. In comparison, Spence was as high as a 35-1 favorite over Peterson (but generally about 25-1).

I don't think the rise in weight means much. Crawford is simply the vastly superior talent.

I'm certain he'll perform like the lopsided odds suggest and stop the Aussie by the 7th.

Probably a bit high but it depends on the market. Bookies have different odds on fighters in different markets, depending on who's most likely to bet on which fighter in a certain region.

Crawford has to be a clear favourite but I see this going the distance unless Horn gets a DQ because he has to fight rough & tough to have any chance of winning - and as the away fighter he'll not be getting any favours.
