Mayweather vs. Maidana 2 odds: Floyd a comfortable favorite in rematch

Floyd Mayweather had to fight his best fight in years to escape his first fight with Marcos Maidana with a controversial majority decision win. Coming into their first fight, Mayweather was a -1000 favorite. Even with Maidana’s stunning performance the first go around, little has changed.

The odds are also strongly in favor of another decision. The fight going over 9.5 rounds is at -550 while a stoppage prior to 9.5 rounds is at +325.

In order of lowest to widest odds, the finishes are listed at Mayweather by decision -250, Mayweather by KO/TKO/DQ +350, Maidana by KO/TKO/DQ +800, Maidana by decision +900, Draw +2200.

There’s also one interesting prop bet out there for the main event. It is +325 that a point will be deducted at some point from either fighter versus -550 that no point will be deducted. The first fight was a rough affair and Floyd wasn’t thrilled with some of Maidana’s tactics, so it will be interesting to see if the ref is a little more interested in jumping in early on.

A few of the undercard bouts also have odds listed currently.

Miguel Vazquez is a -340 favorite to beat Mickey Bey (+260) while Leo Santa Cruz is listed at -10000 to beat Manuel Roman (+1600).

These odds are all via Bovada and they have done the -10000 odds a few times lately, most notably with Andre Berto’s fight a few weeks ago. Their main intention is to keep money from coming in on the favorite it would seem.
