Perfect. I don't often see long odds on an over/under, except if it's an alt line. Apparently, it's more common in boxing. In your example, it was a 10-round fight. The bookmaker's only viable option was the 8.5 because a 9.5 total would be functionally equivalent to the yes/no DECISION bet. Any total less than 8.5 would have even longer odds.

Looking at the board currently at DraftKings, I see a similar setup on Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano. The 8.5 total is -1100 over/+550 under. That's also a 10-round fight.

Jack Catterall vs Harlem Eubank is a 12-round fight that's apparently expected to require a decision. The 10.5 total is -500 over/+310 under.
