Beterbiev vs. Smith Odds, Fight Card
No one has been able to top Beterbiev in his nearly 11 years as a professional boxer. In fact, no one has been able to leave the ring without being knocked out. And Vegas doesn't expect that to change tonight: As of this writing, Beterbiev is the heavy favorite at -600 to Smith's +370.
However, the English challenger certainly has a chance at an upset win. Smith is 33 years old, while Beterbiev is almost 39, and Smith has more professional fights under that belt than Beterbiev (30 to 19, respectively). Some pundits also saw flaws in Russian-Canadian champion Anthony Yarde's most recent fight, which was also a full year ago (tonight's fight was originally scheduled for last August, but was postponed when Beterbiev underwent jaw surgery for bone infection).
In addition to the title fight between Beterbiev and Smith, we'll have some exciting matches beforehand to whet the appetite — including a WBO bantamweight title fight between Jason Moloney and Saul Sanchez.
