[admin]

Punters continue to back Daniel Geale to beat Anthony Mundine ahead of their IBF World middleweight title fight in Sydney next Wednesday night with Geale’s odds firming from $1.45 into $1.30.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Mundine has been friendless with punters.

“Mundine was once as short as $2.65 but the odds of him winning have now drifted out to $3.45,” Sullivan said.

“We have taken three times as many bets on Geale and we’ve written two significant 5 figure wagers on him to win,” Sullivan said.

Geale is a also a clear cut $1.60 favourite to win by points decision but punters are rallying behind Geale to win by knock out.

“We put up $5.50 about Geale knocking out Mundine but punters immediately crunched that price into $4.50,” Sullivan said.

Sportingbet is betting on the total number of rounds with over 9.5 rounds the preferred option at $1.20 and under 9.5 rounds $4.25.

Daniel Geale has become the subject of a plunge as money continues to pour in for the Tasmanian boxer to defeat Anthony Mundine in Wednesday night’s IBF Middleweight title fight in Sydney.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said more than 70% of bets taken on the fight have been for Geale and he’s been backed from $1.45 into clear cut $1.30 favouritism.

“It’s been one-way traffic for Geale while Mundine has been pretty much friendless with punters,” Sullivan said.

“We’ve already taken two significant 5 figure bets on Geale to win and we are expecting more to come as the fight gets closer,” Sullivan said.

Mundine’s odds have drifted from $3.00 out to $3.45 over the past week and he was as short as $2.65 when betting on the fight opened last year.

Geale has also been well backed from $5.50 into $4.50 to win by KO, TKO or Disqualification.
