Whilst I don't think he stands any chance (sorry) - I've just seen PaddyPower have put Lomechenko as 1/100 to beat Crolla..... wow. I don't think I've seen such odds in any fight, let alone fighting someone who can claim to be a world champion.
I do think the odds for Broner to upset Pacquiao are also tasty - prior to Matthysse I would have said Broner would have been the favourite..... are the bookies looking a bit too much into that fight - Matthysse is quite done also.
Whats the odds for Mares vs Davis - I don't know why, but I have a feeling the tough and criminally underated (over the years) Mares might give Davies whose motivation is hot and cold a scare...... if Davis puts on a clinic and stops Mares then I really think he steps into the big league. I do expect him to win, but I'm sure he'll start as a sizeable favourite against a true great like Mares.

Odds of 1/100 are just stupid, basically the bookies don't want people to bet on Loma, but if they fought 100 times would Lima win them all, probably not, injuries and disqualification would more than likely come into play at some point

I’d call it 3 horse as the draw can come into play.

This happening then? Seems a waste of a fight for Loma. Saying that there aren't much options up at lightweight but Crolla would need to box out of his skin to even win a minute of this.

They often price up potential fights so I wouldn't take it as meaning the fight is happening. Hopefully TopRank find something else for Loma.

Fingers crossed but doesn't seem much about.

Odds like that and even bigger are quite common, pointless really.

It's worth sticking a couple of quid on, much bigger chance of a return than buying a lottery ticket

I know what you mean but just seems an impossible task for Crolla, then again a freak injury or something and you would be laughing.

Definitely worth a tenner. Broken ankle, snapped Achilles, ruptured bicep, DQ, all could happen.
Take all the weird shit and DQ out of the equation and I think it is more than 100-1. In normal circumstances, Crolla would not beat him if he was carrying a baseball bat.

There was some hugely overpriced fighters who picked up victories in 2018, Navarrete (v Dogboe) & Doyle (v Bellotti) are two that come to mind off the top of my head. Often worth a look.

I’ve started backing the draw in big fights for a while now. Started with GGG Alvarez 1. It’s always worth a small punt.

I did. Also got the Jono Carroll fight both 25/1. Best value for a single I feel as I don’t really bet too big these days.
