Madison Square Garden will be the setting this Saturday night, October 5th, where Gennady Golovkin and Sergiy Derevyanchenko will duke it out for the vacant IBF middleweight title. Bloody Elbow is front and center with the betting odds.
The former champ, Gennady Golovkin (39-1-1, 35 KO’s), opened up as a stout -350 betting favorite to Sergiy Derevyanchenko’s (13-1, 10 KO’s) initial underdog offering of +250. Since first dropping, this betting line has only widened. ‘GGG’ is now even more favored, clocking in at a robust -435, with Derevyanchenko now registering at a girthy +385 dog tag.
The bookies were torn on whether or not this top-tier boxing bout would actually reach the scorecards.
