Darchinyan is at $2.51 and $2.77 to win the nationally televised clash by Points or Knockout respectively despite Moreno’s impressive record of 31 wins from 33 bouts.

“Moreno has an excellent record and has won his last 25 fights but we all know Vic is the best in the business and punters expect to see him grind out the win,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

In round betting, rounds seven to nine are equal $15 favourites for Darchinyan to record the victory in, followed by rounds five, six and ten at $17 each.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Green was an overwhelming favourite for the fight and punters were convinced he would knock the Magic Man out.

“Green has been well backed as the $1.24 favourite with few punters giving 42 year old Tarver any chance as the $3.90 outsider,” Sullivan said.

“We have Green $1.87 favourite to win by points but punters clearly disagree and are backing him to win by KO, TKO or disqualification.

“We have taken bets to win $9000 and $3000 on Green to finish it early and it looks like the KO price will continue to shorten up even further from the $3.30.”

Sullivan said the tempo of the fight would have a massive impact on how the fight would end.

“At 42, I can’t see Tarver coming out setting a hectic pace and a Green win by points is the short priced favourite as there is a chance Tarver will just try to weather the storm until the closing rounds before making his move,” he said.

The punter placed $5000 at $10 on rank outsider Wood to win by knock out and was no doubt celebrating when Mundine went down in the fifth round.

“Mundine was a red hot $1.10 favourite but obviously this punter saw something in Wood and unloaded on him and had a very nice collect,” said Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan.

“No doubt punters will take Garth Wood more seriously now and I think it will be a while before we see him go around as a $6.50 outsider again.”
