From the bookmakers, anyway. Just checked with bet365.com, and they have Chagaev at about a 10-1 favorite, Povetkin about 7 to 1 and Huck at 3 to 1, for their upcoming fights. Since bookmakers are setting their line to attract action on both sides of the proposition, this is roughly a measurement of how the betting public feels about this too. When people have to put their money where their mouth is, the white boxers are starting to get some serious respect.

Wow, a lot of exciting fights for our guys coming up! Corrie Sanders Feb 2nd too. They've really got Povetkin at 7 - 1 over Chambers? Golota vs. Mollo coming up too, but i don't like that one so much.

All are clear favorites not a big deal to me. Bookies don't give away their money. If you want to make better money on these fight bet a casual fan and you will be able to get a better odds than this, for obvious reasons.....

Mollo is a solid 2 to 1 favourite over Golota. If this was the Golota of 96' This line would probably be 4 to 1 the other way. I was a little surprised that Mollo wasn't a 3/2 to favourite. Maybe it's because Golota is 40ish.

I actually think Golota will beat Mollo. When the pressure is not on, Andrew does quite well. But a big fight against a big, aggressive guy will always intimidate Golota and he will always cower and submit mentally and then physically.
