Polish bookies make Nagahama the favourite ahead of OPBF title bout with Toyoshima
Earlier today Polish betting company STS began to take bets on the upcoming OPBF Welterweight title bout between defending champion Riku Nagahama (12-2-1, 4) [長濱 陸], who is seeking his first defense of the belt, and hard hitting challenger Ryota Toyoshima (12-2-1, 8) [豊嶋亮太].
The opening odds here see STS favouring the champion, who they have priced at 1.6 to take home the victory and retain his title, whilst Toyoshima is priced at 2.2 as the under-dog. For a bout that we see as a fairly 50-50 match up there some value there on Toyoshima, but maybe not enough to entice the Polish bettors.
The bout also has method of victory markets, and this is where things suddenly get much, much more interesting.
The bookies see the most likely outcome as a decision win for Nagahama, pricing that outcome at just over evens, at 2.1. The second most likely outcome is the 3.0 available on a Toyoshima stoppage win. A Nagahama stoppage is a rather large 5.0 whilst a decision win for Toyoshima is a hefty 7.0, which is the outlier and with good reason given his more limited boxing skills than the champion.
The bout also has an length of bout market available, set at 7.5 rounds. The over is seen as the more likely outcome, at 1.45 whilst the under is priced at 2.52.
