I do think it's fair to say that the bookies are correct in saying JP is the favourite, but I don't think by as much as the betting odds are. Believe it's something like 3-1. No way.
You could say that about all sports then, if the All Blacks are playing USA of course one team needs to win but we all know who the favourite would be. Just like the fights. Parker may be the favourite due to age, technique, power, speed but Takam has experience, a decent proven chin, has decent power and has an awkward style in itself. I think it's much closer than the TAB had/ have it and other overseas sites have it almost even.
