Fury vs. Makhmudov moneyline analysis
It almost doesn't need to be said why Fury is the favorite: his huge frame (four-inch height and nine-inch reach advantages) and technical genius would be enough to make him a favorite against a large number of challengers. The path to beating Makhmudov has been outlined by his two career losses to Agit Kabayel and Guido Vianello, in which he used lateral movement to force Makhmudov to miss and tire him out; Fury will be able to do that even better.
That 20% implied win on Makhmudov's +400 moneyline betting odds comes down to his knockout power. With 19 KOs in 21 career wins, including 13 in the first round, Makhmudov has the ability to end a fight in a single exchange.
🔔 Expected markets
Right now - over two months out - the only market we're seeing for this fight at the best boxing betting sites is the straight moneyline play outlined above. But as we get closer to the event, we'll have plenty of additional markets, including but not limited to:
- Total rounds (Over / Under)

It's impossible to bet on Fury with just the moneyline (-600) open. Those odds are prohibitive; there's simply too much vig to back the favorite. If you had to put money down today for some reason, I'd advise the underdog and hope the long layoff and explosive power are enough to get the job done.
To really nail this down here, you'll just want to wait until additional markets open, and then find a well-priced bet that includes Fury inside the distance.
